Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers have identified thousands of genes which are essential for the survival of cancer. The most promising 600 genes have been earmarked as possible drug targets for novel cancer treatments….
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have identified 129 jumping genes which drive cancer growth but are not identified by standard DNA sequencing techniques. Standard sequencing techniques allow researchers…
A team of researchers has developed a new type of CRISPR tool that is capable of removing large sections of DNA in human cells. As with CRISPR-Cas9, the new CRISPR-tool…
Cerebral palsy and neurodevelopment disorders are usually diagnosed in children between the ages of 6 months and two years. If the disorders are identified earlier, it may be possible for…
Protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes control the function of other proteins through the phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of amino acid residues on proteins. They have been shown to play an…
A team of researchers in India have grown cardiac muscle cells from induced pluripotent stem cells on human amniotic membrane which has outperformed the commercially available gelatin-based 3D matrix substrate…
Pluripotent stem cells are extremely useful in regenerative medicine as stem cells have the ability to transform into any type of cell. They can therefore be used to repair organs…
A team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Keck Graduate Institute of The Claremont Colleges have developed a handheld device that can be used to diagnose…
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge University have grown a miniature brain in the lab which created functional tendril-like connections to spinal cord and muscle tissue….
Harvard University researchers have smashed the record for the most genetic alterations made in a single cell. The researchers used the CRISPR gene editing tool to make 13,200 changes to…
