Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
New research has uncovered a potential new treatment option for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results in the gradual loss of motor neurons. Motor…
Image Source: MIT Evidence of the link between the digestive tract and the brain is growing, with some recent studies indicating the makeup of the gut microbiome can have and…
Researchers have used single-cell RNA sequencing to study the initial processes involved in infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes tuberculosis, and have provided new insights into the infection process that…
A signaling pathway has been identified that can be targeted in a novel treatment for leukemia. Leukemia is caused by leukemic stem cells which give rise to abnormal blood cells…
Scientists in Japan have successfully differentiated enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) which can be used to create a more accurate model of the human small intestine. An…
The current model used to study the human blood brain barrier has been discovered to have a serious flaw: one which casts previous research using the model into question. The…
Scientists have found an experimental small molecule is effective at restoring protein synthesis in the neurons of Alzheimer’s disease mice and helped to restore memory and improve cognitive function. Alzheimer’s…
A team of researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at University Hospital Duesseldorf has developed a stem cell-based cell culture for studying nonalcoholic fatty liver…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 often sees patients temporarily lose the senses of smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia), but why this occurs with COVID-19 is not well understood. A study of patients…
Stem cell transplants have been previously used to cure two patients of HIV. In both cases, the patients received a dose of stem cells taken from a donor who lacked…
