Researchers develop new cranial window system for long-term studies of brain activity

Bilal Haider is studying how multiple areas of the brain work together for visual perception. This could help researchers understand if neural activity "traffic jams" underlie all kinds of visual impairments: from running a red light when visual attention is elsewhere, to shedding light on the autism-affected brain.

Modifying red blood cells to create a promising new vehicle for vaccine delivery

Physicists, chemists and immunologists at McMaster University have teamed up to modify red blood cells to transport viral agents which can safely trigger the immune system to protect the body against SARS-CoV-2, creating a promising new vehicle for vaccine delivery.

Lower, more frequent doses of nanomedicines may provide additional benefits for cancer patients

Tiny structures called nanoparticles can be used to carry substances to certain parts of the body - for example, to deliver a chemotherapy drug to a tumor.

Study shows the mutations leading to omicron variant did not help virus escape recognition by T cells

People who gained immunity - either through vaccination or exposure - against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also are likely to have some protection against the pathogen's omicron variant.

Researchers solve the structure of large signaling protein involved in emergence of blood cancers

Researchers led by Christopher Garcia of the Ludwig Center at Stanford University have solved the long-sought structure of a large signaling protein involved in responses to infection, inflammation, the generation of immune cells and when dysregulated by mutation - the emergence of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Blood test shows promise to identify Alzheimer's changes in the brain before symptom onset

The University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has been around for nearly half a century. In that time, they have built an international reputation for best-in-class research into a disease that kills more people every year than breast and prostate cancer combined – Alzheimer's disease.
