Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at UCLA have developed a new CAR T gene therapy that could potentially be used to treat HIV-1. The researchers demonstrated their method produced superior and longer lasting results…
One of the reasons COVID-19 has such a high mortality rate is the cytokine storm it induces in some patients. The cytokine storm is an excessive response by the immune…
Image Source: University College London Prions are a type of protein that are present on the membranes of many cells, which can cause proteins in the brain to fold abnormally…
New research has uncovered a potential new treatment option for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results in the gradual loss of motor neurons. Motor…
Researchers have used single-cell RNA sequencing to study the initial processes involved in infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes tuberculosis, and have provided new insights into the infection process that…
Scientists have found an experimental small molecule is effective at restoring protein synthesis in the neurons of Alzheimer’s disease mice and helped to restore memory and improve cognitive function. Alzheimer’s…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 often sees patients temporarily lose the senses of smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia), but why this occurs with COVID-19 is not well understood. A study of patients…
Stem cell transplants have been previously used to cure two patients of HIV. In both cases, the patients received a dose of stem cells taken from a donor who lacked…
New research into Alzheimer’s Disease suggests the disease is more diverse than previously thought and consists of at least three different subtypes, each of which presents differently in the brain….
Many COVID-19 patients experience neurological symptoms after being infected with SARS-CoV-2, leading researchers to speculate that the virus is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enter the brain….
