Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have 3D bioprinted a heart complete with atria, ventricles, and blood vessels using cells harvested from the patient. The work represents a major advance in…
The first human CRISPR gene editing trial to be conducted in the United States has now commenced. The treatment is being given to two patients as part of a study…
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new technique for improving the accuracy of gene edits made using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. CRISPR-Cas9 has been shown to be highly…
Researchers have identified thousands of genes which are essential for the survival of cancer. The most promising 600 genes have been earmarked as possible drug targets for novel cancer treatments….
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have identified 129 jumping genes which drive cancer growth but are not identified by standard DNA sequencing techniques. Standard sequencing techniques allow researchers…
A team of researchers has developed a new type of CRISPR tool that is capable of removing large sections of DNA in human cells. As with CRISPR-Cas9, the new CRISPR-tool…
Cerebral palsy and neurodevelopment disorders are usually diagnosed in children between the ages of 6 months and two years. If the disorders are identified earlier, it may be possible for…
Protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes control the function of other proteins through the phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of amino acid residues on proteins. They have been shown to play an…
A team of researchers in India have grown cardiac muscle cells from induced pluripotent stem cells on human amniotic membrane which has outperformed the commercially available gelatin-based 3D matrix substrate…
Pluripotent stem cells are extremely useful in regenerative medicine as stem cells have the ability to transform into any type of cell. They can therefore be used to repair organs…
