    UGA vaccine fights fungal infections while also protecting the gut (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A vaccine created by University of Georgia researchers to battle multiple life-threatening fungal infections is successful in achieving protective immunity in pre-clinical animal models while also maintaining the biodiversity of the gut microbiome, according to a new study. This is the first study to evaluate a vaccine’s effect on naturally occurring fungal and bacterial communities in the gut, known as the microbiome. The vaccine, called NXT-2, could be the first to protect against and potentia

    Are Joro spiders outcompeting Georgia’s native spiders? - UGA Today (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When Joro spiders first arrived stateside over a decade ago, scientists worried the massive black and yellow spiders would gorge themselves on the same bugs as native spiders (or even the native spiders themselves). If the invasive arachnids did make massive meals out of Georgia’s insects, the local orb weaver population — already facing dangers from insecticide and pesticide use — could suffer. But a new study from the University of Georgia may ease some of those concerns. “In terms of direct c

If that’s the case, Hernandez’s monthlong course in Costa Rica, held in partnership with the University of Costa Rica this past summer, should have earned her students a degree. Hernandez PhD ’08 leads a group of students on an immersive study away experience focused on conservation medicine and biology. “Conservation medicine is a discipline that’s rooted in understanding how human activities are impacting b

    New imaging system documents seizures in real time - UGA Today (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A seizure is a sudden, overwhelming wave of electrical energy passing through the brain in a matter of seconds — so fast, in fact, that it’s been nearly impossible to fully capture where these electrical bursts originate, how they move and where they stop. That’s why University of Georgia researchers developed a new high-resolution light-sheet imaging system that is fast enough to document seizures in 3D in real-time. Using zebrafish larvae, the go-to animal model for neuroscience research, the
