Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School have developed a method of growing human skin organoids that bear hairs entirely from human pluripotent stem cells. The…
Genetically modifying immune system cells to combat autoimmune diseases or attack cancer cells could one day be a powerful immunotherapy treatment option; however, attempts to edit cells in the innate…
When muscles are damaged due to a lack of oxygen – ischemia – regenerating the muscles can be a challenge. Studies have been conducted to determine whether stem cell treatments…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool allows the editing of genes with a high level of precision, but advances have been made that allow even greater control of when the edits…
Treating patients with malignant brain tumors is particularly challenging. While it may be possible to have tumors surgically removed, it is a complex procedure and it is often not possible…
A machine-learning algorithm has been developed to help find new antibiotics and has succeeded in identifying a molecule that has powerful antibiotic properties and can kill several types of bacteria…
Clinical trials of CRISPR gene editing technology have already started in the United States but, so far, the actual editing of cells has taken place in the lab. Cells have…
