In a major biomedical breakthrough, researchers at the European Bioengineering Institute — a consortium funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program — have successfully created synthetic blood that mimics the function and structure of human red blood cells. Published in Nature Biotechnology in April 2025, the discovery is poised to transform trauma care, blood…
In one of the most astonishing breakthroughs in modern biology, scientists have successfully created synthetic human embryos using stem cells — without the need for sperm, eggs, or a traditional fertilization process. The findings, presented in 2023 at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, mark a turning point in developmental…
For centuries, philosophers and scientists have debated what consciousness is — and where it comes from. Now, a new study offers a potential breakthrough: researchers may have identified a unique “consciousness signature” in the brain that helps explain how awareness arises. Published in Nature, the study uses advanced brain imaging and machine learning to detect…
