Killers and Builders: The Diverse Roles of Our Immune System – Dr Luca Parisi, University of Milan

About this episode
Immune cells known as macrophages defend the body from infections by killing invading microbes. However, they are also capable of repairing and remodelling tissue after infection or injury. The balance of ‘killing’ and ‘building’ macrophages is carefully controlled in the body, but can be skewed at sites of chronic inflammation, such as tumours. In a recent review, Dr Luca Parisi and his colleagues at the University of Milan and the University of Insubria in Italy, examine the role of these versatile immune cells in chronic disease.

About this episode
Electric vehicles may be championed as an essential component of a decarbonised economy, but there is still a long road ahead before they can become widely accessible to all drivers. Dr Ronghui Zhang and colleagues at Sun Yat-sen University in China are exploring one way in which this transition could be accelerated, through more sophisticated techniques for recycling the abundant energy released in braking. With the smart use of big data, the researchers believe that the amount of energy recaptured in this process can be maximised, without sacrificing the safety or comfort of the driver.

About this episode
Recent studies have suggested that dietary intake of antioxidants could reduce the risk of diseases including coronary heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. These studies are based on a long history of research into antioxidants, stretching back to the 1950s. In a recent review, Dr Andy Wai Kan Yeung at the University of Hong Kong and his colleagues examine the growth of the recent scientific literature concerning antioxidants to better understand how the scientific focus on these potential therapeutic molecules has changed over time.

About this episode
The brain is the most mysterious organ in the human body – despite decades of research, we have just begun to scratch the surface in understanding how the brain works and how we can help it to heal following an injury. Professor Mark D’Esposito of the University of California, Berkeley, uses advanced imaging technology to illuminate how the connections in our brain function in order to find new ways to aid brain healing after injury.

About this episode
To accomplish even a simple goal, our brain must coordinate thousands of pieces of information, remember which parts are relevant, and ignore anything that is extraneous. Professor Mark D’Esposito of the University of California, Berkeley, studies how different parts of the brain work together to create working memory, the cognitive system that temporarily and actively holds information in mind allowing us to complete complex tasks.

About this episode
Online education has recently experienced a surge in popularity, and this trend is set to continue. Through online learning, individuals who are unable to take courses on campus, due to family, work or financial pressures, now have the opportunity to pursue university degrees. However, one shortfall of online education is that it often fails to develop students’ deep-learning skills, which are required for effectively tackling complex problems. In a recent study, Dr Yianna Vovides of Georgetown University investigated this issue.
