Scientists have created a model to study breast cancer biology, confirming that primary tissue from patients behaves similarly to those derived from long-term cultured cell lines. This breakthrough advances the development of targeted therapies for advanced cancer treatments.
A study by Griffith University Climate Change Response Program finds that planting trees does not offset fossil fuel CO2 emissions, highlighting the urgent need to rethink land management practices. Protecting natural forests and restoring degraded ecosystems are crucial components of the solution.
Researchers at Griffith University have demonstrated that particle properties can be measured simultaneously with high precision, challenging the long-held idea that this is impossible. The findings provide an important advance in the quantitative understanding and experimental verification of complementarity.
Researchers at Griffith University have discovered how Neisseria meningitidis attaches to human airways, a key step in the development of invasive disease. This breakthrough understanding may lead to the identification of new risk factors and treatment procedures.
A new eLearning resource provides guidance on supporting individuals with dementia in addressing intimacy, sexualities, and sexual behaviors. The tool aims to increase awareness and promote proactive approaches among healthcare professionals.
Researchers have identified a carbohydrate modification on leukaemic cells that can be targeted to eradicate cancer. The study, published in Journal of Experimental Medicine, offers hope for new treatment options against drug-resistant forms of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Griffith University's Institute for Glycomics has launched a human trial for a Streptococcus A vaccine, targeting a protein on the surface of Strep A bacteria. The year-long trial aims to ensure the vaccine's safety and effectiveness in preventing rheumatic fever, particularly in remote Aboriginal communities with high infection rates.
A new report from Griffith University shows that most households did not make any changes to reduce their flood vulnerability despite lessons learned from the 2010-11 Australian floods. The research found that residents prioritized general home improvements over resilience measures, and insurers often only paid to replace like-for-like.
Despite concerns about high extinction rates, Griffith University researcher Professor Nigel Stork says the actual number is lower than feared. The study estimates around 5 million species on Earth, with conservation efforts protecting rich biodiversity in key areas.
Children who learn to swim early achieve better visual-motor skills and excel in literacy and numeracy. The comprehensive three-year study found significant differences between swimming and non-swimming children, regardless of socio-economic status.
Griffith University researchers have developed a device capable of amplifying the information in a single photon without adding noise, preserving quantum information. The breakthrough has far-reaching implications for quantum technologies, including improved quantum cryptography and long-distance communication.
Griffith University researchers have developed a new technique for ultra-precise motion tracking using quantum-enhanced optical phase tracking. By combining
The newly established Therapeutic Innovation Australia Queensland Node will provide a testing model to speed up the movement of inventions from laboratory to therapeutic products. The Node will focus on four initial projects, including migraine prevention and diabetes management, aiming to deliver tangible commercial returns within fiv...
Griffith University researchers analyze ancient human remains to determine the origins of people in South-east Asia and Australia. The study identifies two waves of human migration through Asia and detects historic patterns of interbreeding among early people.
Researchers are developing silicon carbide microchips that can operate in harsh environments, enabling new applications like efficient lighting. The project aims to bring this technology closer to reality and engage with major international industry.
A Griffith University research team has successfully photographed the shadow of a single atom for the first time. The achievement is made possible by a super high-resolution microscope that allows the creation of a darker image, enabling its capture. This technology has far-reaching implications for quantum computing and biomicroscopy.
Researchers at Griffith University are on the brink of an effective human treatment for the deadly Hendra virus, which has killed over 200 people in South East Asia. The therapy attacks the virus by turning off a vital gene and is highly effective in very low doses.
A study by Griffith University has identified a new region on the X chromosome linked to migraine in females. The research suggests multiple genes may be involved, including one related to iron regulation in the brain.
