Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys have grown fully functional hair follicles from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that grow natural looking hair through the skin. Trauma, burns, and a range…
There have been several successful attempts at creating cerebral organoids artificially in the lab. Now, a team of researchers in Japan have gone one step further and have demonstrated their…
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have proposed a new method of treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) which could help premature babies breathe more easily. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a…
Early detection of breast cancer is critical, but 40%-50% of women have dense breast tissue which makes it difficult for tumors to be identified. Dense breast tissue is also where…
A new imaging technique has been developed by researchers at the University of Toronto that can be used to identify cholesterol in arterial plaque, which could lead to faster diagnosis…
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have demonstrated it is possible to transplant stem cells from a mismatched donor and avoid rejection by the immune system with an antibody…
A new 3D tissue imaging technique has been developed that allows the effects diseases to be studied at the cellular level in far greater detail. The imaging technique, called X-ray…
When cells are damaged through injury or disease, stem cells replace the cells that have been lost. In some organs of the body, repair of cells is rapid, but in…
For the first time, scientists have successfully genetically modified stem cells in vivo in mice, eliminating the risks associated with extraction, lab alteration, and re-introduction of the cells. Patients with…
University of California, Irvine researchers have developed an innovative new stem cell-based therapy that has reversed the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in mice. While promising stem cell treatments for autoimmune…
