Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes control the function of other proteins through the phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of amino acid residues on proteins. They have been shown to play an…
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…
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…
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in turning human stem cells into insulin producing cells raising hopes that a cure for type 1 diabetes may be just around the…
Ebola is a highly contagious enveloped RNA virus that is spread through bodily fluids. Infection with the virus causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF). Treatment is primarily concerned with managing the…
Systemic inflammation naturally occurs as part of the aging process and is common in the normal geriatric population. Chronic inflammation also occurs in patients infected with HIV that are undergoing…
Researchers at Michigan State University believe they may have unraveled some of the mysteries of stem cells: Where embryonic stem cells come from and how cells decide whether to form…
An antibiotic patented in 1966 that has been widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans, especially those that cause colitis and diarrhoea, could have a new and very different…
In 2015, researchers identified stem cells in rodents that only give rise to bone, cartilage or stromal cells – the cells in the spongy interior of bone – but the…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans measure brain activity from changes in blood flow. fMRI scans have many uses and have allowed researchers to study neural signatures associated with suicidal…
