Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have identified 129 jumping genes which drive cancer growth but are not identified by standard DNA sequencing techniques. Standard sequencing techniques allow researchers…
A team of researchers has developed a new type of CRISPR tool that is capable of removing large sections of DNA in human cells. As with CRISPR-Cas9, the new CRISPR-tool…
A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) have identified an enzyme that promotes the proliferation of basal-like breast cancers….
Current treatments for HIV are focused on preventing the virus from replicating. Combination drug therapies are highly effective and allow the disease to be effectively managed. Rather than being a…
Researchers and the University of California San Diego have shown that stimulation of the vagus nerve could serve as a possible treatment for patients diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)…
When heart cells are damaged, they do not heal sufficiently as cardiomyocytes lack the ability to replace dead tissue with new and healthy tissue. Cardiomyocytes are among the least renewable…
A protein called clusterin has been linked to many aspects of cardiometabolic disease by researchers at Ohio State University (OHU). Cardiometabolic disease is the name given for a combination of…
An artificial pancreas or closed-loop insulin delivery system has been shown to be effective at controlling glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes, although the effectiveness of an artificial…
The first European CRISPR trial has commenced. Researchers will be investigating whether cells modified by CRISPR can produce more hemoglobin and alleviate the symptoms of beta-thalassemia. According to the U.S….
A clinical trial of an experimental treatment for Parkinson’s disease has commenced at Kyoto University Hospital in Japan. The trial is investigating whether stem cells injected into the brains of…
