A transatlantic effort is transforming cancer research and care. The University of Notre Dame's Harper Cancer Research Institute is conducting collaborative, cutting-edge research with the University of Galway's Cancer Centre. The initiative is aptly titled Biseach — an Irish word meaning “to heal,…

At 10 one-millionths of a meter wide, a single human cell is tiny. But something even smaller exerts an enormous influence on everything a cell does: proton concentration, or pH. On the microscopic level, pH-dependent structures regulate cell movement and division. Altered pH response can accelerate…

The symptoms come on quickly — acute fever, followed by debilitating joint pain that can last for months. Though rarely fatal, the chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne illness, can be particularly severe for high-risk individuals, including newborns and older adults. While the virus is common…
