Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
New research suggests that following a brain injury, the healing process that sees new brain cells generated to replace damaged cells could make the development of glioblastoma more likely. Glioblastoma…
Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) experience manic and depressive mood swings, which can be life threatening. While the symptoms can be managed with lithium, only a third of BD patients…
Many COVID-19 patients experience neurological symptoms after being infected with SARS-CoV-2, leading researchers to speculate that the virus is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enter the brain….
Two trials using CRISPR-Cas9 to treat patients with sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia have produced promising results. The patients have not had any vaso-occlusive crises following treatment and no longer…
Brain stem cells are alerted by inflammation caused by bacterial infections in any part of the body and are prepared for activation, according to a new study conducted by researchers…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have demonstrated the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool is effective at treating metastatic cancers in vivo. CRISPR is already being used by researchers to make…
A new method of CRISPR delivery has been developed by scientists at UNSW Sydney which could prove to be a safer and more direct method of delivering the gene editing…
Recovery from ligament injuries can be a long and painful process. Even with access to the best medical care, athletes can remain sidelined for many weeks or months and in…
A team of NIH researchers have identified a new inflammatory disorder in men using a genotype-first strategy for disease discovery. The disorder, termed ‘vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory and somatic…
Researchers at the University of Swansea have discovered the gut hormone ghrelin is a key regulator of the formation of new nerve cells in the brain and have associated the…
