From hagfish to membrane: Modeling age-related macular degeneration

Researchers have successfully demonstrated that hagfish slime proteins can accurately replicate membranes in the human eye. Scientists were able to properly grow retinal cells on hagfish slime proteins and prove that the protein's behavior changes as the membrane mimics stages of aging and disease.

Researchers use AI to predict recovery after serious brain injury

Western University has developed a ground-breaking method for predicting which intensive care unit (ICU) patients will survive a severe brain injury by combining functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with state-of-the art machine learning techniques.

Flu: Interferon-gamma from T follicular helper cells is required to create lung-resident memory B cells

During a bout of influenza, B cells interact with other immune cells and then take different paths to defend the body. One path is the B cells that differentiate into lung-resident memory B cells, or lung-BRMs, that are critical for pulmonary immunity. These long-lived, non-circulating lung-BRMs migrate to the lungs from draining lymph nodes and reside there permanently as the first layer of defense that can quickly react to produce antibodies in a future infection.
