Zev J. Gartner, Ph.D., and his team of researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have developed a new tissue modelling technique that has allowed them to create…
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new form of gene therapy for inherited blindness. This is the first time a directly administered gene therapy has been approved…
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California have successfully used the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool to restore insulin-producing cells in mice, raising hopes for a cure for…
Stem cell harvesting from amniotic fluid could allow large numbers of stem cells to be easily obtained for use in the treatment of diseases and medical research. When Caesarean deliveries…
3D printers can be used to create artificial bones with high tensile strength out of inorganic material, but when it comes to printing biological materials that require flexibility, there are…
Spinal cord injury often results in permanent impairment of limb function, although human stem cells have been used to repair spinal cord injury in rats. Scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute…
A clinical trial is due to be conducted using Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging to guide prostate surgery. The trail is being conducted by the Netherlands Cancer Institute, and will use the…
Stem cells have been used in new therapies to treat a wide range of diseases. Now, a new technique for using stem cell therapy for knee injuries has shown highly…
Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a novel technique for 3D printing cells to form living tissues that retain their structure. The 3D printed tissues could potentially be…
For the first time in the United States, researchers have used CRISPR technology to edit genes in human embryos. The U.S. is not the first country to perform such tests….
