Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Researchers have identified two proteins that play an essential role in the formation of new blood vessels. The proteins are part of the Hippo signaling pathway, which regulates organ growth…
New research has shed light on the reasons why some people develop severe COVID-19 symptoms while others experience no symptoms at all. From quite early in the pandemic, risk factors…
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, which are clumps of protein pieces in the tissue between nerve cells and neurofibrillary tangles, which are twisted tau protein…
A mouse model of chronic stress, depression, and anxiety has been used to investigate their impact on the effectiveness of drugs that lower cholesterol. Research has shown that individuals suffering…
Researchers have demonstrated the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool can be used to treat muscular dystrophies. Muscular dystrophies are inherited conditions that cause muscles to weaken, causing a progressive loss of…
Cancer can easily spread from the site of the primary tumor to distal regions of the body when cancer cells detach from the tumor. They travel to distal sites via…
A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Hawaii searching for rare actinomycetes have identified a soil bacterium that produces two drug-like molecules that…
There have been many recorded cases of individuals who have previously had COVID-19 experiencing heart problems, a reduction in grey matter thickness in the brain, and problems with cognitive function,…
Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have identified a gene that codes for a protein that has a protective effect against the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, which could serve…
