Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a new technique using CRISPR-Cas9 and have successfully reversed muscular dystrophy in mice….
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), also known as blood stem cells, are capable of differentiating into every type of blood cell and are essential for maintaining blood production. Blood stem cells…
One of the problems of using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver gene editing tools into cells, is the immune system may recognize the virus as foreign, develop antibodies against…
Researchers have successfully eliminated latent herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in mice using a new type of gene editing technique. While there is currently considerable research being conducted using the…
University of Illinois Chicago researchers have developed a new approach for controlling the deposition of hydrogel to direct single cell function. Hydrogels are water-soluble polymers that are used to mimic…
Researchers have identified how bacteria are able to colonize the gut and resist shear forces and stay attached to the cells of the intestine. Before the bacteria can proliferate, they…
Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany have identified new potential targets for retinitis pigmentosa, one of the most common causes of congenital blindness. Retinitis pigmentosa is one of the most…
An AI-based diagnostic system has been pitted against dentists to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and to see how accurately it was able to diagnose tooth decay from radiographs….
A new cellular protection pathway has been identified that targets a vulnerability shared by several viruses including coronaviruses and Ebola. The vulnerability was identified by researchers at Benaroya Research Institute…
Researchers at McMaster University have found a way to make pediatric brain cancer respond better to treatment. The most common type of brain cancer in children is medulloblastoma (MB), which…
