Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Psychologists at Rice University in Houston, Texas have developed a new method for analyzing brain activity that provides insight into the functioning of the brain following a stroke. When part…
Mind reading is more commonly associated with mentalists rather than scientists, although that may not be the case for very long. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans allow scientists to…
Scientists at Hokkaido University’s Graduate School of Medicine have successfully used RNA interference (RNAi) to block ocular inflammation in mice. It is hoped that the technique could be used to…
A team of researchers from the UK’s University of Liverpool have used nanotechnology to improve the effectiveness of HIV drug treatment. The trial was the first to use nanomedicine to…
Noninvasive imaging of neuronal activity has been a goal for scientists for many years, yet until recently, imaging technology has not been sufficiently advanced to allow images to be produced…
Researchers at 3D bioprinting firm Organovo have announced that they have successfully bioprinted proximal tubules – tiny vessels found in the nephrons kidney. Proximal tubules play an important role in…
Effective cancer treatments introduce toxic chemicals, involve the surgical removal of tumors, or the administration of doses of radiation, all of which can have serious side effects. However, treatments with…
An international team of researchers led by Imperial College London have successfully used stem cells in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. While the use of stem cells for the treatment…
Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Michigan Medical School are using artificial intelligence systems to assist with the diagnosis of brain tumors. Current methods of intraoperative histopathologic diagnosis are…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have shown tremendous potential for use in the diagnosis of disease, with AI image analysis one of the most exciting uses of AI in medicine. Radiographers,…
