Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A drug developed as a potential anticancer agent could serve as a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The drug targets an enzyme in order to disrupt cancerous growth, but researchers…
Scientists have created the first three-dimensional living entities from human embryonic stem cells. These advanced cellular structures or embryoids closely resemble primitive human embryos and could potentially be used to…
There have been several successful attempts at creating cerebral organoids artificially in the lab. Now, a team of researchers in Japan have gone one step further and have demonstrated their…
Early detection of breast cancer is critical, but 40%-50% of women have dense breast tissue which makes it difficult for tumors to be identified. Dense breast tissue is also where…
A new 3D tissue imaging technique has been developed that allows the effects diseases to be studied at the cellular level in far greater detail. The imaging technique, called X-ray…
When cells are damaged through injury or disease, stem cells replace the cells that have been lost. In some organs of the body, repair of cells is rapid, but in…
University of California, Irvine researchers have developed an innovative new stem cell-based therapy that has reversed the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in mice. While promising stem cell treatments for autoimmune…
An antihistamine drug has been shown to halt the most aggressive form of brain cancer in mice, by triggering a cell death pathway without harming healthy cells. Glioblastoma – or…
Researchers at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine have used a type of placental stem cell to successfully repair heart tissue following a heart attack in animal models. The research…
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in men. Around 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives….
