Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Most new human infectious diseases are caused by viruses that originated in animals that have made the jump to humans, with SARS-CoV-2 being the latest example. Identifying the next zoonotic…
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have significantly reduced the number of deaths from COVID-19, but the virus remains a major threat, especially due to emerging escape mutants. Even with the number of vaccinations…
A new study exploring the origins of CRISPR and has shown we have only just scratched the surface and there are potentially millions of CRISPR-like systems that could potentially be…
A new testing approach that incorporates an artificial intelligence system has been shown to be highly effective at detecting different types of lung cancer from a blood test. The AI…
Human brain organoids created from induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) have been engineered to develop optic vesicles that respond to light. Development of the eyes in embryogenesis is a complex…
The CRISPR gene editing system is most commonly used for making cuts to double stranded DNA to remove or replace faulty genes, but that is not the only way that…
A protein that plays an important role in turning normal tissue into cancer has been identified, which could be targeted with drugs in novel treatments for highly aggressive cancers affecting…
Levels of a cytoskeletal protein found in the blood and the brain could form the basis of the first ever blood-based diagnostic test for schizophrenia. Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys,…
New research has revealed the role that basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) plays in the cell pathway that leads to T cell exhaustion, where cancer-fighting T cells stop attacking…
A new study conducted by researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has revealed a mechanism that provides protection against the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD…
