Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A new 3D method of culturing embryonic stem cells has been developed by a team of researchers from the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and Chemistry and Biochemistry departments of…
The National Institutes of Health’s National Eye Institute (NEI) has launched a new competition that challenges biomedical scientists to generate miniature, 3D human retinas in the lab for use in…
Researchers at the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine have successfully removed liver and prostate cancer fusion genes using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. Fusion genes are often associated with…
Since inner ear tissues are not biopsied, researchers find it next to impossible to obtain tissue samples. That hampers studies of disease models and the development of new therapies for…
Researchers from Temple University and the University of Pittsburgh have successfully removed HIV DNA from mice using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. Considerable advances have been made in the treatment…
Genetic mutations in viable human embryos have been corrected for the first time using the CRISPR gene editing tool. Scientists at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University have…
Effective cancer treatments introduce toxic chemicals, involve the surgical removal of tumors, or the administration of doses of radiation, all of which can have serious side effects. However, treatments with…
Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Michigan Medical School are using artificial intelligence systems to assist with the diagnosis of brain tumors. Current methods of intraoperative histopathologic diagnosis are…
The most common CRISPR-Cas9 system used by biomedical scientists to edit genes is derived from Streptococcus pyogenes; however, a team of scientists have developed a much smaller CRISPR-Cas9 system –…
In the United States, around 500,000 people are expected to die of coronary artery disease this year. Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease. CAD occurs…
