New study shows blood pressure drug boosts effectiveness of immunotherapy for brain cancer and reduces deadly side effect

New study shows blood pressure drug boosts effectiveness of immunotherapy for brain cancer and reduces deadly side effect

The fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor known as glioblastoma has so far resisted all therapies, including immunotherapy, a treatment that harnesses the body’s immune system to destroy cancer cells.

In a new study, researchers have demonstrated how a safe and...

 New nanomaterial sets magnetic trap for disease biomarkers

New nanomaterial sets magnetic trap for disease biomarkers

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and Vanderbilt University Medical Center have devised a low-cost filter that can rapidly isolate and trap biomarkers for cancer with a 99% success rate.

Researchers successfully prevent peanut allergic reactions in mice, blocking onset in its tracks

Researchers successfully prevent peanut allergic reactions in mice, blocking onset in its tracks

An allergen-specific inhibitor devised by researchers at the University of Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine has successfully prevented potentially life-threatening allergic responses to peanuts. The results of the new study were just published in Science Translational Medicine.

Engineers use quantum computing to develop transparent window coating that blocks heat, saves energy

Engineers use quantum computing to develop transparent window coating that blocks heat, saves energy

Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But what if a window could help cool the room, use no...

Computing on the edge: computer engineers co-design new energy-efficient neuromorphic compute-in-memory chip

Computing on the edge: computer engineers co-design new energy-efficient neuromorphic compute-in-memory chip

Computers constantly transfer information between processing and memory units, and this shuttling back and forth of data consumes a lot of energy.

Siddharth Joshi, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and Ph.D....

Removing heavy metals from water with innovative 3D-printed filters

Removing heavy metals from water with innovative 3D-printed filters

Chemical engineers at the University of Notre Dame have developed a highly effective filter for removing lead and other toxic heavy metals from water.

The new filter is sensitive enough to identify and capture one metal ion, even when...
