Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The lab-grown cells have so far only been tested in ...
Basal cell carcinoma and melanoma are two distinct types of skin cancer. While they share many risk factors, treatment options and the outlook for people with either condition may differ. Skin cancer ...
