Domenico Tupone, a research assistant professor of neurology at OHSU, explores questions by inducing a state of hibernation in rats, which don’t normally hibernate.

OHSU is noted as a contributor in coverage of an $11.9 million grant from the Department of Defense Hermes program to Oregon State University to invent new drug delivery technologies for protecting members of the military from a range of health threats in combat areas. Gaurav Sahay, Ph.D., says, “To do what the Hermes program is looking for, we need to enable intracellular delivery of messenger RNA to diverse cell and tissue types while overcoming the negative side effects and other challenges associated with broad systemic delivery.”

In a video interview with UroToday, Ece Eksi, Ph.D., discusses a new publication she led using multiplex imaging to examine the prostate cancer tumor microenvironment.

In a National Geographic story about whether food dyes make ADHD worse, Joel Nigg, Ph.D., says more research is needed. “Artificial dyes have been studied in humans only as groups of dyes together, so we don’t actually know if any one dye is particularly problematic,” he says.

In a story about the COVID-19 virus circulating this winter, Dawn Nolt, M.D., tells HuffPost that common COVID symptoms this year are familiar, including cough and shortness of breath. She says, “I think the one thing we’re not seeing is ... that loss of smell or taste that people often talked about early in the pandemic.”

New research led by Luiz Bertassoni, Ph.D., uncovers how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and fibrosis. He says, “Our findings represent a paradigm shift, showing how perivascular cells, instead, act as important sentinels. They detect changes in tissues and coordinating vascular responses. This opens the door to entirely new treatment strategies.”

In coverage of Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center's new grant funding to expand violence prevention efforts, OHSU is mentioned as a key partner in research and intervention programs, such as Healing Hurt People.
