A prominent expert called the work a landmark, but noted that a different, simpler technique now under development may prove more useful. Stem cells can turn i...

The 71-year-old Hawking said he did not think humans would survive another 1,000 years "without escaping beyond our fragile planet." The British cosmologist made the rema...

It also found there was no evidence to suggest the techniques were unsafe, but said further research was st...

Cornell University researchers showed it's possible by creating a replacement ear using a 3-D printer and injections of living cells. The work reported Wednesday is a first step toward one day growing customized new ears for children born with malformed ones, or people who lose one to accident or disease. It's pa...
