Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has shown great promise for editing parts of the human genome to correct mutations, remove defective genes, or add fully functional genes; however, as accurate as…
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) have refined their STIMO (STImulation Movement Overground) targeted neurotechnology system that they previously used to…
Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany have developed an AI algorithm that has been trained to recognize facial features associated with rare genetic diseases, which has been shown…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool has been modified to allow the activation of genes in human immune cells and study the effect the genes have on immune system function. CRISPR…
New research suggests smoking cigarettes increases the risk of suffering a heart attack by activating a gene that affects blood clotting. The gene F2RL3 is expressed on platelets and codes…
Stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can turn into many different cell types in the body. They support growth and produce new specialized cells as cells die…
Researchers at Ohio State University have found a way to increase the activation of T cells inside tumors, which improves the effectiveness of their interactions with a new antibody therapy…
A new type of diagnostic test to check for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been developed that has several advantages over the PCR tests which are currently performed…
The role of the microbiome in preventing colon cancer has been explored by a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine. The researchers have identified a…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool has been used in a proof-of-concept study to produce single-sex mice litters with 100% efficiency. The ability to influence the sex of animals has great…
