Scientists in Japan have successfully differentiated enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) which can be used to create a more accurate model of the human small intestine. An…
A team of researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at University Hospital Duesseldorf has developed a stem cell-based cell culture for studying nonalcoholic fatty liver…
A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Department of Chemistry has developed a new polymer-based vehicle for delivering DNA- and RNA-based therapies for the treatment of…
Two trials using CRISPR-Cas9 to treat patients with sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia have produced promising results. The patients have not had any vaso-occlusive crises following treatment and no longer…
Machine learning algorithms can help physicians with diagnoses and can detect precancerous lesions or cancer in the early stages, which could easily be missed, resulting in faster diagnosis. Early diagnosis…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have demonstrated the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool is effective at treating metastatic cancers in vivo. CRISPR is already being used by researchers to make…
A new method of CRISPR delivery has been developed by scientists at UNSW Sydney which could prove to be a safer and more direct method of delivering the gene editing…
A flexible cardiac patch has been developed that monitors for heart disease risks and can provide treatment without the drawbacks of standard pacemakers and other implantable cardiac devices. Each year,…
A team of researchers from the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Boston Medical Center (CReM), Boston University, and University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston has, for the first…
