UniQuest partners with CSL to develop potential new therapy

Share A potential therapy developed at The University of Queensland may one day save lives by helping patients recover faster from severe trauma, extensive burns and major surgery. UniQuest, UQ’s technology transfer company, has partnered with global biotechnology company CSL to accelerate the development of a potential treatment for the repair of blood vessels damaged by inflammation. Dr Coulthard said the technology could benefit critically ill patients with sepsis or acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as improve patient recovery from heart attack, stroke and organ transplant. “It may also prevent high-risk patients from developing Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), which affects more than half of critically ill patients and contributes to significant mortality and morbidity,” Dr Coulthard said.

Saturated fatty acid levels increase when making memories

Share Saturated fatty acid levels unexpectedly rise in the brain during memory formation, according to University of Queensland research, opening a new avenue of investigation into how memories are made. Dr Tristan Wallis, from Professor Frederic Meunier’s laboratory at UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), said traditionally, polyunsaturated fatty acids were considered important to health and memory, but this study highlighted the unexpected role of saturated fatty acids. “We tested the most common fatty acids to see how their levels changed as new memories were formed in the brain,” Dr Wallis said. “Unexpectedly, the changes of saturated fat levels in the brain cells were the most marked, especially that of myristic acid, which is found in coconut oil and butter.
