Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Following the announcement by President Trump that he is taking hydroxychloroquine, many people have been searching for evidence for hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus infections to see if there is a case…
A novel imaging device has been created by biomedical engineers at Duke University that could be used in a non-invasive diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s disease. The device allows researchers to…
New data suggests smokers have a much higher risk of COVID-19 complications than non-smokers, but the reasons why are not understood. One recent study suggests that the reason may be…
When muscles are damaged due to a lack of oxygen – ischemia – regenerating the muscles can be a challenge. Studies have been conducted to determine whether stem cell treatments…
Scientists in China have isolated a pair of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The antibodies bind to the glycoprotein spike of the virus and prevent it…
During a public health emergency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to accelerate the approval process for medical tests and new drugs. That authority has now…
A tool that was developed to study nerve cells in flies has been repurposed to study proteins in the blood of mammals that bind to the RNA in the process…
Recent advances have been made in nanowire fabrication that could allow tiny devices to be constructed that could revolutionize diagnostic medicine. Devices have been created that emit terahertz radiation, which…
Researchers have identified a fully human monoclonal antibody that prevents SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cultured cells. Monoclonal antibodies are man-made molecules that mimic human antibodies in the immune system. As…
A team of researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have developed a machine learning AI algorithm that could help to detect Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases,…
