Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Pseudouridylation is the most widespread form of RNA epigenetic modification in living organizations, although the role of this process is poorly understood and little is known about how the modification…
Researchers at Stanford University have combined CRISPR gene editing technology with DNA barcoding allowing them to monitor individual cells in tumors and accurately model human cancer. The researchers used CRISPR…
The CRISPR gene editing tool allows scientists to make precise cuts to double-stranded DNA to alter defective genes and add new genetic material. The technique has been shown to result…
A study conducted at the Regeneron Genetics Centre of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., has uncovered a genetic mutation that protects against liver cirrhosis. If new medicines could be developed that mimic…
A team of researchers at Switzerland’s University of Basel have developed artificial organelles that have been successfully introduced into living cells and activated in response to intracellular redox changes. According…
Researchers at Duke University have created working muscle cells from pluripotent stem cells opening up the possibility of developing new treatments for muscular diseases. The study of diseases such as…
CRISPR is most commonly associated with making changes to the DNA; however, researchers at the Salk Institute have developed a new use for the gene editing tool. They hope to…
Preliminary results from an ongoing ROSE clinical trial suggest it may be possible to reverse premature menopause using stem cells. Stem cells harvested from the bone marrow of patients have…
A regenerative medicine project conducted by a team of researchers from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Leiden University Medical Centre, and the University of Melbourne has made great strides toward…
Researchers at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered genetic clues that could explain how breast cancer metastasizes. While breast cancer can be treated if caught…
