A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia have identified new lung stem cells that spring into action following…
Some cancers are particularly aggressive and metastasize – spread to other areas of the body and form secondary cancers. The cancer cells associated with metastasis and more aggressive tumors are…
Post heart attack stem cell therapy could prove to be a viable treatment to prevent long term damage from a heart attack, at least that is what the results of…
A team of researchers from Imperial College London and King’s College London have used cryogenic 3D printing to artificially create soft tissue with similar mechanical properties to brain and lung…
A team of researchers in Japan and Australia have developed blood test for Alzheimer’s disease that was able to accurately identify biomarkers of the disease in 90% of patients. An…
As people age, cognitive ability declines, but it may be possible to slow age-related cognitive decline by using cognitive training. Researchers at the Center for Brain Health at The University…
The western diet contains too much salt, which increases blood pressure and elevates the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases and strokes, although new research has suggested that eating too…
Scientists in Japan have used a 3D bioprinter to create fully functional artificial tracheas from living cells which have been successfully transplanted in rats. While they are not the first…
AI diagnostics – the use of artificial intelligence-based systems to help doctors diagnose medical complaints – may seem to be in the realm of Star Trek, but these systems are…
