Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Stem cell transplants can be effective for treating blood cancers, but treatments carry risks. Donor stem cells may be rejected leading to graft-versus-host disease and other complications can arise. New…
A team of researchers at the University of Houston have created functional pacemaker-like heart cells from fat-derived stem cells, which could be used as biological pacemakers. The pacemaker-like cells could…
Researchers have developed a new method of detecting chemicals that are secreted as stem cells differentiate into osteocytes, allowing scientists to study the complex bone stem cell differentiation process. Mesenchymal…
Researchers at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Health have identified a link between one of the most commonly mutated genes in kidney cancer and the cancer suppressive tumor…
Sufferers of osteogensis imperfecta have been given hope after researchers have developed a new treatment that tackles the root cause of the disease. Osteogensis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone…
It may be possible to accelerate bone healing to help patients recover from fractures and breaks in a much shorter time frame. This would be particularly beneficial in patients with…
A team of scientists in Brazil have used 3D bioprinting to create functional liver organoids in the lab. The mini-livers can perform all of the essential functions of human livers,…
Image Source: UC San Diego Health Sciences There are no effective treatments for liver cancer in its latter stages, so treatment relies on detection of liver cancer in its early…
An international team of researchers has identified a druggable target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) stem cells which could serve as an effective treatment for the highly aggressive blood cancer….
The use of stem cells for treating patients who have suffered traumatic spinal cord injuries is still experimental and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration…
