Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A new sequencing approach has been developed by scientists at KAUST that can be used to detect rare mutations in large groups of cells. The sequencing techniques currently being used lack…
Embryonic development starts when eggs are fertilized by sperm, and the resultant embryonic genome has half of its genes provided by the father and half from the mother, but the…
For the first time, researchers at Michigan State University have created a miniature human heart model in the laboratory that includes all the primary heart cell types, vascular tissue, and…
New research suggests that the severity of COVID-19 is linked to the complement system, one of the oldest parts of the innate immune system and also coagulation dysfunction. Researchers at…
An international team of researchers has discovered why certain gliomas develop resistance to the chemotherapy drug temozolomide. Gliomas are the most common type of brain tumor and can occur in…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe symptoms in some patients, while other are entirely asymptomatic. The reason why this is the case is one of the many mysteries of the…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 which, for the majority of individuals, is a relatively mild disease that will resolve on its own without intervention over the course…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can produce a wide range of symptoms. Some patients experience heart complications with COVID-19 such as a change in heart rhythm. Some…
Three recent studies suggest using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool to make changes to the DNA of human embryos results in large unwanted changes to the DNA near the target…
Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have developed a new technique that improves analyses of patterns of brain activity in patients with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia…
