Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Tufts University have developed a new technique for generating human neural stem cells for tissue engineering. The technique generates rapidly-differentiating neural stem cells which the researchers say could…
Parkinson’s disease symptoms can be reduced using non-invasive brain simulation, according to a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. A technique that can improve Parkinson’s disease patients’…
Researchers at the University of Stanford School of Medicine have cast more light of the role of retinoic acid deficiency in bowel cancer development, determining that the presence of the…
An innovative new dissolvable dendritic thioester hydrogel burn dressing has been developed by a team of biomedical engineers and chemists which has potential to ease the suffering of burn victims….
Researchers at the UK’s University of Sheffield have identified and cataloged 788 new blood biomarkers for cancer which can be used to tell if patients are clear of cancer, whether…
Nanosensors have tremendous potential in diagnostic medicine but their use to date has been limited. However, researchers at Tufts University have developed a new ‘smart thread’ containing nanosensors and microfluidics…
While it is possible to obtain data from medical implants using radio frequencies, data transfer speeds are incredibly slow. Data are typically transferred at a maximum speed of around 50kbs….
The CRISPR-Cas9 method of gene correction has been shown to be effective in mice for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy, bringing the gene editing technique closer to human trials. One of…
Tissue engineering of human cartilage has proved problematic, although researchers at Columbia Engineering have made a breakthrough. Cartilage has long been considered to be an ideal candidate for tissue engineering….
