Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A team of researchers from the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Boston Medical Center (CReM), Boston University, and University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston has, for the first…
University of Chicago researchers have identified a new method of treating multiple sclerosis which has been shown to be more effective that current treatments in studies on mice. Multiple sclerosis…
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for the discovery of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool. CRISPR, an acronym of Clustered…
Severe reactions to infection with SARS-CoV-2 are characterized by excessive inflammation in the lower airways, which has been linked to a pathological response of the immune system. Researchers at the…
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a new technique using CRISPR-Cas9 and have successfully reversed muscular dystrophy in mice….
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), also known as blood stem cells, are capable of differentiating into every type of blood cell and are essential for maintaining blood production. Blood stem cells…
University of Illinois Chicago researchers have developed a new approach for controlling the deposition of hydrogel to direct single cell function. Hydrogels are water-soluble polymers that are used to mimic…
Researchers have identified how bacteria are able to colonize the gut and resist shear forces and stay attached to the cells of the intestine. Before the bacteria can proliferate, they…
An AI-based diagnostic system has been pitted against dentists to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and to see how accurately it was able to diagnose tooth decay from radiographs….
A new sequencing approach has been developed by scientists at KAUST that can be used to detect rare mutations in large groups of cells. The sequencing techniques currently being used lack…
