Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine have identified an enzyme that prevents cancer by enabling the breakdown of proteins that drive cell growth. The discovery came when investigating…
A new RNA sequencing method has been developed that has been used to identify numerous modified small RNAs that have, until now, not been possible to detect. RNA plays an…
Two microRNA molecules have been identified that play an important role in the maintenance of populations of cancerous stem cells that drive breast cancer growth and lead to relapse after…
Researchers at UCLA have developed a new CAR T gene therapy that could potentially be used to treat HIV-1. The researchers demonstrated their method produced superior and longer lasting results…
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have identified a gene that plays a role in the metastasis of cancer to the lungs. The LRRN4CL gene, which had not previously been…

A recently published study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham has identified biomarkers in the saliva of Rugby players that accurately predict concussion. Concussion is a common injury…
One of the reasons COVID-19 has such a high mortality rate is the cytokine storm it induces in some patients. The cytokine storm is an excessive response by the immune…
