New technology tracks role of macrophages in cancer spread

A Morgridge imaging study of macrophages — immune cells that are important to human health, but paradoxically can help some cancers grow and spread — is offering better ways to understand these cells and target them with immunotherapies.

‘Molecular Signature’ In Blood May Indicate Coronavirus Disease Severity

Researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research, Albany Medical Center, and UW–Madison assembled a profile of biological molecules that correlated not only with COVID-19 infection, but with disease severity. More target molecules will likely be found as others analyze the data, which is freely available online.
