Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
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…
Vaping – the use of e-cigarettes – is believed by many scientists and medical professionals to be safer than smoking, although there is conflicting research on the risks of vaping…
A drug used to treat an enlarged prostate and high blood pressure, terazosin, has been shown to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that…
A team of researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have used CRISPR gene therapy to silence a fatty acid metabolism gene and reverse metabolic disease in mice. The gene…
13 years ago, scientists succeeded in creating stem cells – inducted pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) – from mature skin cells. Those cells showed tremendous promise in the field of regenerative…
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…
