Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new form of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T-cell therapy that could be used to treat patients with solid tumors. CAR T-cell therapy…
If healthy cells are harvested from a patient and introduced into another individual as a therapy to replace diseased or damaged cells, an immune response will be triggered. White blood…
Botanical medicines have been used for tens of thousands of years as a treatment for specific ailments such as high blood pressure, although the mechanisms by which these plant extracts…
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection used to be a death sentence; however today, thanks to antiretroviral therapy, patients with HIV can live long and healthy lives without developing acquired immune…
Researchers at Northwestern University and Columbia University have created a nanolaser that can be delivered directly into cells. The tiny laser could be incorporated into microprocessor chips and also used…
A drug used to treat an enlarged prostate and high blood pressure, terazosin, has been shown to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that…
Scientists may have succeeded not only in slowing the sands of time, but actually reversing the aging process. In a yearlong trial, participants lost an average of 2.5 years from…
A team of researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have used CRISPR gene therapy to silence a fatty acid metabolism gene and reverse metabolic disease in mice. The gene…
13 years ago, scientists succeeded in creating stem cells – inducted pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) – from mature skin cells. Those cells showed tremendous promise in the field of regenerative…
One of the main goals in medical imaging is to develop a technique and the technology to view changes in cell activity the brain in real time. While there are…
