Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have successfully grown fully functional lungs in mouse embryos using transplanted stem cells. Many types of lung diseases are progressive and ultimately prove…
CRISPR-Cas9 is a promising gene editing tool that makes it far easier for scientists to make edits to the genome. Rather than using more established gene editing techniques that require…
A new study has suggested melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, has multiple origins and can originate in the hair follicles, not just in the layers of the skin….
Image source: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute A team of scientist at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new 3D printing method that uses novel bioinks to create living skin complete…
A universal flu vaccine would provide protection against all strains of flu, but an antibody that is broadly effective has so far escaped researchers. However, new research has revealed an…
Researchers have shown dental epithelial stem cells can differentiate into non-dental organs under the right conditions and have demonstrated this in a mouse model where they successfully generated cells capable…
Patients with Type 1 diabetes must monitor their blood glucose levels regularly and administer insulin injections, but another treatment option may soon become available that has been shown to be…
The U.S. drug company Biogen has developed a revolutionary new drug which it claims can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. All other treatments for this form of dementia work…
A team of researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the University of Pennsylvania, and Drexel University have provided insights into the molecular mechanisms behind mitochondrial disease and how small…
A team of researchers in Australia have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 to prevent the expression of a gene that drives cervical cancer. The researchers’ technique was shown to be effective at…
