A new partnership between McMaster University and Celesta Capital will cultivate the next generation of deep tech innovations at McMaster and within the broader Canadian research and startup ecosystem.
Anthropologists working with a hematologist colleague have developed a way to detect anemia in archaeological remains by using microscopic patterns in the structures of bones.
An international team, including researchers from McMaster University and St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, has identified a new therapeutic for patients with a rare autoimmune disease called eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). A biologic drug called benralizumab has been shown to be non-inferior to mepolizumab in the treatment of EGPA.
Researchers with McMaster University and Denmark-based pharmaceutical company ALK-Abello A/S have made a groundbreaking discovery: a new cell that remembers allergies.
For years, there has been a long-held belief that acute viral infections like Zika or COVID-19 are directly responsible for neurological damage, but researchers from McMaster University have now discovered that it’s the immune system’s response that is behind it.
Researchers of the PREPARE trial, which enrolled nearly 8,500 participants at 25 hospitals in Canada and the United States, found the use of iodine povacrylex in alcohol to disinfect a patient’s skin could prevent surgical site infection in thousands of patients undergoing surgery for a closed fracture each year.
Researchers with McMaster University have created the instruction manual that will help scientists across the globe find hard to detect B cells.
An international team of researchers from McMaster University, University of Alaska Fairbanks and the University of Ottawa has tracked and documented the movements and genetic connections of a female woolly mammoth that roamed the earth more than 14,000 years ago.
Stuart Phillips is a leading expert on health and fitness from McMaster University and is available to discuss the benefits of combining strength training and aerobic exercise, as the new year brings new resolutions and crowds to the gym.
Researchers from McMaster University have found that cholinesterase inhibitors, a type of common medication used to treat dementia, are not associated with an increased risk of falling. However, they found that the medication increased the risk of syncope, or fainting.
There is no shortage of advice for women on what to eat, how to train, or what supplements to take during their menstrual cycles, but a new review by an international team of scientists has found little evidence to support such recommendations. In fact, they found sparse research on women and exercise at all, and even less on the effect of their periods on sports performance, physiology, or physical fitness.
