Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Research conducted in the UK and Spain suggests the diphenylbutylpiperidine class anti-psychotic drug Pimozide could potentially be used as a new treatment for triple-negative breast cancer after it was shown…
In 2015, researchers identified stem cells in rodents that only give rise to bone, cartilage or stromal cells – the cells in the spongy interior of bone – but the…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans measure brain activity from changes in blood flow. fMRI scans have many uses and have allowed researchers to study neural signatures associated with suicidal…
Scientists in China have already conducted clinical trials of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology on humans, but the technology has yet to be green-lighted in the United States. While CRISPR-Cas9 has…
Researchers at University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy may have found an potential new treatment for childhood brain cancers such as medulloblastoma…
Sufferers of depression may soon benefit from a new treatment that has been shown to speed up recovery. Using the new technique, termed fMRI neurofeedback training, patients showed a 40%…
Researchers at the Otonkoski Lab at the University of Helsinki, the Karolinska Institute, and King’s College London are the first to successfully convert human skin cells into induced pluripotent stem…
The CRISPR gene editing system allows scientists to make edits to DNA – removing damaged or malfunctioning genes and inserting new genetic material into the DNA. The CRISPR gene editing…
For the past 60 years scientists have thought microbes and viruses may play a role in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, although studies conducted to date have not…
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness for the over 50s. The condition causes lesions to form that blur the central part of vision. The condition is…
