Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
The use of stem cells for treating patients who have suffered traumatic spinal cord injuries is still experimental and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration…
Immunotherapy can be an effective treatment for some cancer patients. The treatment involves harnessing the body’s immune system and using it to attack cancer cells that would otherwise be treated…
The injection of stem cells into the hearts of patients who have suffered a heart attack can help the heart to heal. Currently clinical trials are underway to test this…

Researchers at the University of Houston have identified a new biomarker for lung cancer stem cells. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor-initiating cells (TICs) are cells that have similar abilities…
A new study has suggested melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, has multiple origins and can originate in the hair follicles, not just in the layers of the skin….
Researchers have shown dental epithelial stem cells can differentiate into non-dental organs under the right conditions and have demonstrated this in a mouse model where they successfully generated cells capable…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new form of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T-cell therapy that could be used to treat patients with solid tumors. CAR T-cell therapy…
If healthy cells are harvested from a patient and introduced into another individual as a therapy to replace diseased or damaged cells, an immune response will be triggered. White blood…
Researchers at the University of Guelph in Canada have identified a potential new drug which controls the inflammatory response in mice and offers protection against heart failure following a heart…
