The NanoLymph: Implantable. Adaptable. Anti-Cancer.

The Implantable Nanolymph Cancer Vaccine Device Can Locally Recruit and Activate Antitumor Immune Cells to Elicit a Systemic Antitumor Immune Response.

COVID-19 Infection in Crucial Brain Regions May Lead To Accelerated Brain Aging

The disease may put vulnerable individuals at risk for irreversible neurological conditions.

Researchers Uncover Distinct Patterns of a Common Pathology in Dementia

Known as LATE, a very common form of brain pathology affects ~40% of elderly patients. Researchers at Houston Methodist have unraveled several patterns of LATE in the brains of aging and demented patients. These patterns have distinct clinical, pathologic and genetic associations.

Deepening Insights into Human Brain Disease

Houston Methodist’s neural biorepository or NBRX is a core facility of the Department of Neurosurgery. It provides patient-derived tissue samples to facilitate translational and basic neuroscience research across the Texas Medical Center.

Is there hope for an FDA-approved therapy specifically for PAD?

Current Peripheral Arterial Disease therapies offer relief from symptoms, but novel therapeutics are urgently needed

Researchers identify a novel immunotherapy target to combat glioblastomas

Houston Methodist researchers have used advanced microfluidic technology to fingerprint different types of cells in glioblastoma. Their analysis has revealed a protein that could serve as a potential immunotherapy target for one of the deadliest cancers.

Rapidly scalable, all-inducible neural organoids could facilitate drug screening for neurological diseases

State-of-the-art neural organoids designed by Houston Methodist researchers are scalable, reproducible and allow manipulation of neuron and astrocyte activity. This all-inducible “mini brain” in vitro system could help researchers study human neuron-glial interactions better and could serve as an improved testing platform for drug discovery.
