Izpisua has successfully achieved to cure large ulcers regenerating the skin without the need for grafts

The team of researchers led by the professor of the Salk Institute Laboratory of Gene Expression (USA) and professor of Developmental Biology at UCAM has successfully achieved skin regeneration by applying cell programming 'in vivo'. This new discovery will mark a milestone in the history of medicine, especially  for those who suffer from large skin ulcers, caused by severe burns or chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Izpisua one step away from applying gene editing in humans

Izpisua one step away from applying gene editing in humans

The team led by the Spaniard Juan Carlos Izpisua has succeeded in activating key genes for some diseases with the CRISPR technique without the need to splice the DNA.<br /> With this new technology, unwanted mutations are not generated, this avoids a great obstacle for its application in humans.<br /> "We were thrilled to see the success in mice" have assured the researchers, who are now working on improving the technique and applying it to more diseases, although they also stated that "more safety tests are needed before doing human trials".

Scientists identify the corpse shrouded in the Santa Sindone and the Shroud of Oviedo

A forensic- medical study performed in both the Shroud of Oviedo and the Sindone of Turin not only confirms that both linen clothes shrouded the same person , but also that this person, when it was already a corpse, suffered a &nbsp;penetrating wound that pierced the right hemithorax, with a deep cut entry in the fifth intercostal space and exit in the fourth one, close to the vertebral column and the right scapula, which also left signs of blood clots and pleural-pericardial liquid in both linen clothes
