Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
University of Southampton researchers have developed a new method of generating human cartilage tissue from stem cells that could be used as a new, long-lasting treatment for patients with cartilage…
Most new human infectious diseases are caused by viruses that originated in animals that have made the jump to humans, with SARS-CoV-2 being the latest example. Identifying the next zoonotic…
To study human development researchers need access to human embryos. These are provided by individuals undergoing in vitro fertilization, with any surplus embryos donated for use in research. Current regulations…
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have significantly reduced the number of deaths from COVID-19, but the virus remains a major threat, especially due to emerging escape mutants. Even with the number of vaccinations…
The secretions of a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to reduce the viability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria and could potentially be…
A new study exploring the origins of CRISPR and has shown we have only just scratched the surface and there are potentially millions of CRISPR-like systems that could potentially be…
A team of researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have identified a new molecular pathway involved in wound healing in the skin. The molecular pathway identified by the…
A new potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease has been developed by an international team of researchers that has been shown to be effective in mouse models of the disease. The…
A new testing approach that incorporates an artificial intelligence system has been shown to be highly effective at detecting different types of lung cancer from a blood test. The AI…
Human brain organoids created from induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) have been engineered to develop optic vesicles that respond to light. Development of the eyes in embryogenesis is a complex…
