Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A team of researchers at UC Irvine have developed a new stem cell treatment that has been shown to be effective at treating cancer metastases in mice. The researchers used…
A drug developed as a potential anticancer agent could serve as a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The drug targets an enzyme in order to disrupt cancerous growth, but researchers…
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have proposed a new method of treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) which could help premature babies breathe more easily. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a…
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have demonstrated it is possible to transplant stem cells from a mismatched donor and avoid rejection by the immune system with an antibody…
When cells are damaged through injury or disease, stem cells replace the cells that have been lost. In some organs of the body, repair of cells is rapid, but in…
University of California, Irvine researchers have developed an innovative new stem cell-based therapy that has reversed the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in mice. While promising stem cell treatments for autoimmune…
Researchers at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine have used a type of placental stem cell to successfully repair heart tissue following a heart attack in animal models. The research…
In 2006, researchers in Japan discovered skin cells could be reprogrammed into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPSCs). The Japanese researchers’ skin-cell generated IPSCs could form fetal cell types, but they…
A variety of different substrates are used in the lab for growing stem cells. The substrates provide a surface on which stem cells adhere to. While some studies have suggested…
A team of researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a new technology for binding cells together with a biological superglue. The technology could be used in cell therapies…
