Elite immune cells patrolling the human eye

Researchers discover specialised immune cells patrolling the human eye: Researchers have discovered that the sentinels guarding the healthy human cornea from pathogens and inflammation are T cells, and not another type of immune cells called dendritic cells, as previously thought. The discovery, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, redefines current […]

Cancer rates doubles for homelessness

Cancer is twice as likely to affect people experiencing homelessness (PEH) as members of the housed population. The disease is the second most common cause of death among PEH, a group that is underserved when it comes to medical care. At the same time, there is a lack of awareness and of structures for targeted […]

Cheese’s next wave

Cheese’s next wave: researchers explore potential of marine rennet substitute: Ben Knight of the UNSW Sydney explains more here: For many, cheese isn’t merely a food or a tasty snack but one of life’s greatest indulgences. They’ll also be the first to tell you that if you don’t like cheese, chances are, you just haven’t […]

Mosaicism mutation identified in Australian cancer patient

World-first case of gene variant identified in Australian cancer patient: Researchers have identified the first ever case of a mutation known as ‘mosaicism’ in one of the genes responsible for fixing errors in our DNA, known as the DNA mismatch repair genes. The discovery could improve the way patients are tested for and diagnosed with […]
