A light-activated enzyme morphed round starfish egg cells into different shapes. This technology could one day be useful for wound healing therapies.

Kolkata specialists in assisted reproduction shed light on the medical procedure and why more women are opting for it ...

The ovary consists of cells other than oocytes, like stromal and thecal cells ... but cautioned against designing medical therapies to delay ovarian aging or improve egg quality based on these results ...

Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells ...

These, depending on specific genes, become either sperm cells or egg cells. The paper is published in the journal Nature ...

Scientists have brought a breed of wolf back from extinction more than 12,000 years after it last walked the earth.

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Scientists have developed a method to control starfish egg cell movements using light. By engineering a light-sensitive version of a key enzyme, they could manipulate cell shape and movement patterns.
