Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A team of researchers in Utrecht, Holland has successfully created kidney organoids in the lab from adult human stem cells that are capable of surviving for more than 6 months….
A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) have identified an enzyme that promotes the proliferation of basal-like breast cancers….
Researchers have identified genetic switches that activate a master gene for whole-body regeneration, which in turn activates various other genes involved in the growth response. Some animals have the ability…
Researchers have developed a new non-invasive imaging technique for diagnosing COPD. The technique can help clinicians diagnose patients earlier and ensure they start treatment when it is most effective to…
Scientists at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can detect Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases including chronic traumatic encephalopathy with a high degree…
The gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 allows precise edits to be made to genes to eliminate mutations or introduce new genes. The technology certainly has potential to cure genetic diseases, improve…
Current treatments for HIV are focused on preventing the virus from replicating. Combination drug therapies are highly effective and allow the disease to be effectively managed. Rather than being a…
A team of researchers at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) has developed a system that can bioprint human skin using a patient’s own cells. The system is mobile…
Scientists in Luxembourg have been able to rejuvenate stem cells in the brains of aging mice and have improved the regeneration of neurons in injured parts of the brain. Stem…
The Swiss healthcare startup CRISPR Therapeutics has used the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool as a treatment for transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia in a clinical trial sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals of Boston….
