How to assess if photoreceptors are functioning properly – Breakthrough technique for diagnosing eye diseases

  Can non-functioning photoreceptors be detected like dead pixels on a camera sensor? Until now this has not been possible, but a new technique will allow fast and non-invasive assessment of the physiological state of the retina. This could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of eye diseases.   For a long time, electroretinography (ERG) was the only advanced method to assess the

CANVAS PROJECT TO FAST-TRACK RESEARCH ON IMMUNE THERAPY FOR NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

The main objective of CANVAS is to significantly raise the scientific potential and gain new research tools, which will contribute to the progress of research on the therapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initiated by prof. Natalia Marek-Trzonkowska at ICCVS.  A vital part of the project is a joint pilot study, which will allow to select an optimal research model for the assessment of

Alleviating autism: one symptom at the time

Doctor Alicja Puścian and the team conducting research under the supervision of Professor Ewelina Knapska at the BRAINCITY Center of Excellence for Neural Plasticity and Brain Disorders at the Nencki Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences showed that experimental therapy targeted at the specific symptoms of autism is not only possible, but also effective. – Autism, or more
