Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
In the United States, around 400,000 silicone breast implant procedures are performed every year. While the procedure and the implants are considered safe, some patients have an immune response and…
Cancer treatments often fail because cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs and the invasive characteristics of cancer tumor cells increase in response to chemotherapeutic processes. Currently, treatments to suppress…
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPSCs) have the ability to turn into any cell in the body; however, IPSCs are very sensitive, and they can be difficult to grow in culture….
UCLA researchers have shown that a one-time stem cell therapy treatment can help to repair the brain damage caused by stroke and dementia in mice. According to the World Health…
Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine have identified an enzyme that prevents cancer by enabling the breakdown of proteins that drive cell growth. The discovery came when investigating…
Two microRNA molecules have been identified that play an important role in the maintenance of populations of cancerous stem cells that drive breast cancer growth and lead to relapse after…
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have identified a gene that plays a role in the metastasis of cancer to the lungs. The LRRN4CL gene, which had not previously been…
Image Source: UCLA School of Dentistry Researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry have shown it is possible to significantly slow the growth and spread of head and neck tumors…
When there is an injury to the spinal cord and neurons are damaged, patients are often paralyzed and there is little hope for recovery as neurons in the spinal cord…
A signaling pathway has been identified that can be targeted in a novel treatment for leukemia. Leukemia is caused by leukemic stem cells which give rise to abnormal blood cells…
