Explore topics ranging from checkpoint inhibitor therapies, TIRF microscopy to automated liquid chromatography

10 Aug 2021 Immune checkpoints are molecules that signal and control the synapse between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs). Checkpoint inhibitor therapies aim to target and inhibit the signals that ‘switch off’ T cells, leading to upregulation of T cell activation and tumor cell killing. The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) mimics the T cell and APC synapse by co-culturing immune cells from two individuals. Consequently, MLR is used as a model, to discover the effects of checkpoint...

INDIA New England News Washington– After being delayed over a year due to the pandemic, NASA has launched a mission with scientific instruments aboard a self-propelled ocean glider and several airplanes to study the role of small-scale whirlpools and ocean currents in climate change. The Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) mission will deploy its suite of water- and air-borne instruments to show what’s happening just below the ocean’s surface. The S-MODE team hope...

New findings from Ontario have shown that children born in Sarnia have a higher risk of developing asthma compared to neighboring cities. A research team from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University, using provincial data from ICES, found that higher air pollution exposure in the first year of life very likely contributed to this higher risk. Their results are published today in CMAJ Open.
