Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
In 2006, researchers in Japan discovered skin cells could be reprogrammed into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPSCs). The Japanese researchers’ skin-cell generated IPSCs could form fetal cell types, but they…
Research conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Cancer Center links resistance to the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen with high levels of the essential amino acid leucine. The research also…
A diagnostic blood test for chronic fatigue syndrome has been developed by researchers at Standford University School of Medicine that can identify biomarkers of the disease in plasma. Chronic fatigue…
A variety of different substrates are used in the lab for growing stem cells. The substrates provide a surface on which stem cells adhere to. While some studies have suggested…
A team of researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a new technology for binding cells together with a biological superglue. The technology could be used in cell therapies…
CRISPR has been hailed as one of the most promising methods of treating diseases, and while the gene editing technology has been shown to allow highly accurate edits to be…
University of California researchers have used electrodes to read brain signals and developed a virtual vocal tract and machine learning algorithms to translate those signals into speech. Using the system,…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have 3D bioprinted a heart complete with atria, ventricles, and blood vessels using cells harvested from the patient. The work represents a major advance in…
The first human CRISPR gene editing trial to be conducted in the United States has now commenced. The treatment is being given to two patients as part of a study…
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new technique for improving the accuracy of gene edits made using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. CRISPR-Cas9 has been shown to be highly…
