Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Bacteria can be engineered to multiply selectively inside tumors, thus inhibiting tumor growth. The bacteria could also be programmed to deliver drugs and proteins directly to the tumors to kill…
Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have identified a gene that codes for a protein that has a protective effect against the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, which could serve…

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new type of probe for use with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that can trace connections between neural populations…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has shown great promise for editing parts of the human genome to correct mutations, remove defective genes, or add fully functional genes; however, as accurate as…
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) have refined their STIMO (STImulation Movement Overground) targeted neurotechnology system that they previously used to…
Most patients with gastric cancer are treated with chemotherapy, with immunotherapy offered to certain patients; however, not all patients will benefit from these treatments, which are toxic and can cause…
The gut microbiota has an influence on many aspects of health, with recent research confirming the microbiota has an effect on the central nervous system and could potentially play a…
Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany have developed an AI algorithm that has been trained to recognize facial features associated with rare genetic diseases, which has been shown…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool has been modified to allow the activation of genes in human immune cells and study the effect the genes have on immune system function. CRISPR…
