The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

A group of 10th grade biology students at Aline-Cleo Public Schools proudly presented their food-based project, which diagrams the structure of the human cell. Using various edible ingredients, they ...
