Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers have halted pancreatic tumor formation in a mouse model that faithfully mimics the human disease by deleting a single gene and have identified three potential therapeutic targets for treating…
The findings of a study on HIV transmission has confirmed that the risk of passing on HIV through unprotected anal sex is virtually zero when HIV viral load is fully…
Research conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Cancer Center links resistance to the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen with high levels of the essential amino acid leucine. The research also…
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…
