Scientists and physicians have long known that immune cells migrate to the site of an infection, which individuals experience as inflammation — swelling, redness and pain. Now, researchers at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and Northwestern University have uncovered evidence that this gathering is not just a consequence of immune activation. Immune cells count their neighbors before deciding whether or not the immune system should kick into high gear.

The ’s design program in the School of Art + Art History + Design earned top honors on the 2020 list of “Best Graphic Design Programsâ€� by the online site Animation Career Review. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ was the top ranked school in Washington, among the top 10 on the West Coast and ranked 7th out of 40 public institutions.

Recent honors to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty and staff members include awards for architectural education and biomaterials research, fellowships in nursing and cloud computing, a professor named among Seattle’s most influential people and a big news year for “a burgeoning band of embodied carbon busters.”

A team of chemical engineers has developed a new way to produce medicines and chemicals and preserve them using portable “biofactoriesâ€� embedded in water-based gels known as hydrogels. The approach could help people in remote villages or on military missions, where the absence of pharmacies, doctor’s offices or even basic refrigeration makes it hard to access critical medicines and other small-molecule compounds. The team — led by Hal Alper, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Texas, and…

Recent honors to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty and staff include an early career award in astronomy, an honorary doctorate from the Delft University of Technology, a seat on Washington state’s new LGBTQ Commission and national honor for an English Department writing program.

Communities underneath and downwind of jets landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport are exposed to a type of ultrafine particle pollution that is distinctly associated with aircraft, according to a new Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ study, the first to identify the unique signature of aircraft emissions in the state of Washington. The finding comes from the two-year Mobile ObserVations of Ultrafine Particles or “MOV-UPâ€� study funded by the Washington State Legislature to examine the air-quality impacts of aircraft traffic on communities located…

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty members have been awarded grants for research to be conducted over the next few years. Django Paris, an associate professor in the College of Education, has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Spencer Foundation. With the four-year grant, Paris will work with H. Samy Alim, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, to study the strengths and limitations of  “culturally sustaining pedagogies” — practices designed to foster cultural pluralism — implemented in…

With a $106 million gift from the Weill Family Foundation, UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ have launched the Weill Neurohub, an innovative research network that will forge and nurture new collaborations between neuroscientists and researchers working in an array of other disciplines — including engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry and mathematics — to speed the development of new therapies for diseases and disorders that affect the brain and nervous system.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s School of Pharmacy announced on Thursday, Sept. 12, a collaboration with global biopharmaceutical company UCB to improve access to care for people living with epilepsy.This interdisciplinary project will explore ways in which community pharmacists can better support people living with this neurological disorder. The roughly 3.4 million people nationally and 75,000 people in Washington state who live with epilepsy often get fragmented and uncoordinated healthcare and community services. “For the growing population of people living with…
