Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Vaping – the use of e-cigarettes – is believed by many scientists and medical professionals to be safer than smoking, although there is conflicting research on the risks of vaping…
Researchers at Northwestern University and Columbia University have created a nanolaser that can be delivered directly into cells. The tiny laser could be incorporated into microprocessor chips and also used…
A team of researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco have developed a potential cure for the common cold and a range of other diseases. The…
New research suggests the use of CRISPR to edit mutations in muscle stem cells (MuSCs) could be an effective long-term treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a genetic…
A drug used to treat an enlarged prostate and high blood pressure, terazosin, has been shown to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that…
Scientists may have succeeded not only in slowing the sands of time, but actually reversing the aging process. In a yearlong trial, participants lost an average of 2.5 years from…
04A new probe has been developed by researchers at Stanford University that combines two imaging techniques to reveal anatomical, functional, and molecular details of the prostate. The probe simultaneously performs…
A team of researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have used CRISPR gene therapy to silence a fatty acid metabolism gene and reverse metabolic disease in mice. The gene…
Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have identified a biomarker for type 1 diabetes using single cell analysis techniques that could be used to diagnose patients during the pre-diabetic stage of…
13 years ago, scientists succeeded in creating stem cells – inducted pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) – from mature skin cells. Those cells showed tremendous promise in the field of regenerative…
