Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
An international team of researchers led by Imperial College London have successfully used stem cells in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. While the use of stem cells for the treatment…
Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Michigan Medical School are using artificial intelligence systems to assist with the diagnosis of brain tumors. Current methods of intraoperative histopathologic diagnosis are…
The most common CRISPR-Cas9 system used by biomedical scientists to edit genes is derived from Streptococcus pyogenes; however, a team of scientists have developed a much smaller CRISPR-Cas9 system –…
Biomaterials that mimic the characteristics of bone marrow can alter the development of blood cells, say researchers at the University of Illinois. The technique developed by the researchers could potentially…
A team of researchers have succeeded in growing lung cells from stem cells in vitro. The research could potentially lead to an innovative new treatment for Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disorder…
Growing mature cardiomyocytes – heart muscle cells – from embryonic stem cells in vitro has proved problematic for researchers. While cardiomyocytes can be grown, those cells do not mature in…
An innovative technique of using induced pluripotent stem cells to treat heart damage and to repair cartilage has been developed by Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, Ph.D., and Kazutoshi Takahashi, Ph.D. However,…
Researchers at UMass Amherst have developed a new technique that greatly enhances the effectiveness of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. The team are using nanoparticles to improve delivery of CRISPER-Cas9…
A new Porcn inhibitor that was developed for the treatment of cancer has surprised scientists by having an unintended effect on cardiomyocytes, suggesting the treatment could also be used to…
A team of researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Minnesota have been working together to investigate the possibilities of 3D printing a heart muscle…
