Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers have identified two proteins that play an essential role in the formation of new blood vessels. The proteins are part of the Hippo signaling pathway, which regulates organ growth…
A machine learning algorithm has been developed by researchers at Imperial College London that is capable of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease from a single magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The tool…
A new technique has been developed for generating dopamine-producing neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs). The technique could be used to generate patient-specific neurons that could help to accelerate…
New research has shed light on the reasons why some people develop severe COVID-19 symptoms while others experience no symptoms at all. From quite early in the pandemic, risk factors…
Researchers have developed a new method for treating sepsis that has had promising results in studies on mice. Sepsis is caused when the body’s immune system goes into overdrive in response…
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, which are clumps of protein pieces in the tissue between nerve cells and neurofibrillary tangles, which are twisted tau protein…
Vitamin D deficiency is common around the world, with one study suggesting approximately 1 billion people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency, while around 50% of the world population has vitamin…
The gut and the microbiome play a huge role in overall health and the influence microbes have on health is becoming better understood; however, there are challenges to overcome when…
A mouse model of chronic stress, depression, and anxiety has been used to investigate their impact on the effectiveness of drugs that lower cholesterol. Research has shown that individuals suffering…
Researchers have identified a drug that inhibits the growth of meningiomas, the most common type of primary intercranial tumor. Meningiomas are tumors that form in the meninges, for which treatment…
