AilseVax will identify and develop novel therapeutic vaccines for cancer patients, which work with the body’s immune system to overcome cancer. These cancer vaccines are a form of immunotherapy that can help educate the immune system about what cancer cells “look like” so that it can recognise and destroy them using the body’s own defences. […]
Some diseases can be diagnosed by identifying physical changes in tissue, such as the hardening of arteries during heart disease. Diseased cells often exhibit different mechanical characteristics, or mechanotypes, than normal cells. Efficient tools for measuring mechanotypes could allow doctors to diagnose diseases at an early stage, predict whether a tumor might metastasize, and identify […]
Leena will be the most senior representative of the university group in the region and will lead the hub’s opening and the development of new collaborations.

An innovative learning strategy in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specialty is giving students a better understanding of the intersection between mental health and law enforcement in rural communities. Students in the psychiatric mental health specialty are required to complete a 40-hour rotation in rural Minnesota. Their clinical experiences […]
The first protein-based nano-computing agent that functions as a circuit has been created by Penn State researchers. The milestone puts them one step closer to developing next-generation cell-based therapies to treat diseases like diabetes and cancer. Traditional synthetic biology approaches for cell-based therapies, such as ones that destroy cancer cells or encourage tissue regeneration after […]
While conducting a study of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory uncovered a previously unseen way in which the ice and ocean interact. The glaciologists said their findings could mean that the climate community has been vastly underestimating the magnitude of future sea level […]
Low sexual satisfaction in middle age may serve as an early warning sign for future cognitive decline, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. The study, which tracked associations between erectile function, sexual satisfaction and cognition in hundreds of men aged 56 through 68, found that declines in sexual satisfaction and erectile […]
University students aiming to enter medical school can be up against steep odds: In 2022, only 36% of applicants to U.S. medical schools were accepted. But University of Texas at Dallas students consistently outperform the field. Last year, 80% of students who completed an intensive preparation program through UT Dallas’ Health Professions Advising Center (HPAC) […]
