Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
An international team of researchers has used single cell analysis techniques to identify and characterize rogue cancer cells that survive chemotherapy. Tumors may be destroyed using chemotherapy, but rogue cancer…
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have successfully grown lung bud organoids in the lab that mimic the function of human lungs. The organoids can be used to create new…
The National Institutes of Health’s National Eye Institute (NEI) has launched a new competition that challenges biomedical scientists to generate miniature, 3D human retinas in the lab for use in…
The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is using artificial intelligence to detect cancer in patients. The NHS has collaborated with Intel to create a digital repository containing many…
Since inner ear tissues are not biopsied, researchers find it next to impossible to obtain tissue samples. That hampers studies of disease models and the development of new therapies for…
Researchers from Temple University and the University of Pittsburgh have successfully removed HIV DNA from mice using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. Considerable advances have been made in the treatment…
A new technique involving noninvasive PET imaging has been used to accurately predict cancer patients’ responses to immunotherapies. While immunotherapies have been shown to be highly effective at treating cancer,…
Chemotherapy can be highly effective for treating some cancers, although the administration of toxic chemicals is not without its drawbacks. The side effects of the high concentrations of chemotherapy drugs…
Genetic mutations in viable human embryos have been corrected for the first time using the CRISPR gene editing tool. Scientists at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University have…
A study of the safety and effectiveness of imatinib treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia has shown that after almost 11 years following initial imatinib treatment, patients have not suffered unacceptable…
