Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine have identified an enzyme that prevents cancer by enabling the breakdown of proteins that drive cell growth. The discovery came when investigating…
Two microRNA molecules have been identified that play an important role in the maintenance of populations of cancerous stem cells that drive breast cancer growth and lead to relapse after…
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have identified a gene that plays a role in the metastasis of cancer to the lungs. The LRRN4CL gene, which had not previously been…
A recently published study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham has identified biomarkers in the saliva of Rugby players that accurately predict concussion. Concussion is a common injury…
Image Source: University College London Prions are a type of protein that are present on the membranes of many cells, which can cause proteins in the brain to fold abnormally…
When there is an injury to the spinal cord and neurons are damaged, patients are often paralyzed and there is little hope for recovery as neurons in the spinal cord…
New research has uncovered a potential new treatment option for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results in the gradual loss of motor neurons. Motor…
Researchers have used single-cell RNA sequencing to study the initial processes involved in infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes tuberculosis, and have provided new insights into the infection process that…
Scientists in Japan have successfully differentiated enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) which can be used to create a more accurate model of the human small intestine. An…
Scientists have found an experimental small molecule is effective at restoring protein synthesis in the neurons of Alzheimer’s disease mice and helped to restore memory and improve cognitive function. Alzheimer’s…
