This is the first hospital I’ve had the potential for such growth and professional as well as personal development and I think that’s something that should be shared and celebrated.</p> <p>Aside for my work here at MGH I also work for a mobile imaging company providing PET/CT scans for patients in hospital systems without access to these types of scanners. I am part of a book review company who reviews books for new up- and- coming authors to help them get their name out into the world.

Like the bone marrow found in the tibia and the femur where stem cells produce all of the body’s immune cells, the skull bone marrow not only contains its own unique stem cells but is physically connected to the surface of the brain through channels that run through the bone.</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1638512281692 ct_srsc1xob4gi61v8zdkoa" > <div class="wpb_wrapper" > <p style="text-align: left;">Our recent work has found that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a fluid which envelops the brain and is important in maintaining brain health, actively flows through these channels and in turn can relay signals specifically into the skull marrow. In conditions like bacterial meningitis that affect the brain and spinal cord, bacteria can utilize this outflow of CSF through these skull channels to incite an immune response specifically in the skull marrow. Future work will look to determine how drugs that modulate the immune system and delivered into the CSF may benefit the treatment of this neuroinflammatory condition.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">I am grateful to be working at MGH where I am surrounded by scientists and clinicians at the forefront of research fields like immunology, neuroscience and cardiovascular disease. The intellectual and scientific resources of this environment not only facilitate my research but allow me to learn directly from the leaders in these fields.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">I was born in Iraq and immigrated to Nashville, TN with my family when I was 5. I did my undergraduate degree at Vanderbilt and my PhD at Emory University in Atlanta before moving to Boston with my wife a mere 6 weeks before the pandemic. Outside of the lab, I spend a lot of time playing soccer and watching my favorite soccer (Arsenal!) and NFL (Tennessee Titans!) teams. My favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey and I recently read the sci-fi novel Dune before seeing the new film adaptation.

I enjoy running, drinking a warm cup of green tea while reading a good book, visiting museums, and reciting poetry.</p> </div> </div> [/ultimate_exp_section] </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid full-width-content "> <div class="vc_span12 wpb_column vc_column_container "><div class="vc_column-inner "> <div class="wpb_wrapper"> [ultimate_exp_section title=”People’s Choice” text_color=”#dbe442″ background_color=”#3b4559″ text_hovercolor=”#3b4559″ bghovercolor=”#dbe442″ title_active=”#3b4559″ title_active_bg=”#dbe442″ cnt_bg_color=”#ffffff” font_family=”font_family:Lato|font_call:Lato|variant:700″ heading_style=”font-weight:700;” title_font_size=”desktop:30px;”]<div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1638503259895"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_span4"><div class="vc_column-inner " ><div class="wpb_wrapper">[ultimate_heading main_heading=”Winner” main_heading_margin=”margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:10px;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;”][/ultimate_heading] <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center img_zoom_effect"> <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <a class="prettyphoto" rel="prettyPhoto[rel-16498-719626822]" href="https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&ssl=1" target="_self"><div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><span><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="225" height="300" src="https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?fit=225%2C300&ssl=1" class="vc_single_image-img attachment-medium" alt="" title="Maricarmen RojasLopez-Life in red-sm" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/mgriblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Maricarmen-RojasLopez-Life-in-red-sm.jpg?resize=9%2C12&ssl=1 9w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></span></div></a> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_span8"><div class="vc_column-inner " ><div class="wpb_wrapper">[ultimate_heading main_heading=”My Life in Red” main_heading_margin=”margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:10px;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;”]By Maricarmen Rojas-Lopez, PhD<br /> Principal Investigator: Marcia Goldberg, MD[/ultimate_heading] <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1638469671503 ct_oawtbt1avmre46nhturo" > <div class="wpb_wrapper" > <p style="text-align: left;">In the lab, we frequently express different proteins in mammalian cells. So, to know that they are expressing, it is necessary to have a reporter, in this case, fluorescent proteins. Pictured are human cells transfected with a plasmid that expresses a fluorescent protein called mCherry, a monomeric red fluorescent protein.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The cells in red mean that they successfully internalized the plasmid. The photo also captures the microscope used to visualize the cells expressing mCherry<span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v9/t28/1/16/1f352.png?resize=16%2C16&ssl=1" alt="🍒" width="16" height="16" /></span>.This image is a representation of a day to day work in the lab.

Current guidelines recommend that pregnant people receive a vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—which typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms in most adults but can be deadly for infants—during weeks 32–36 of pregnancy. New research led by investigators at Mass General Brigham suggests that vaccination earlier in that timeframe, closer to 32 weeks, could provide the best protection for newborns against RSV. “Receiving the RSV vaccine in pregnancy is an important way mothers can protect their newborns and infants from RSV, the leading cause of hospitalization in U.S. infants,” said senior author Andrea Edlow, MD MSc. The Edlow Lab at @massgeneral's Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology studies maternal, placental and fetal immunity and how maternal exposures such as viral infection, substance use and immunization shape fetal development.

Guided by passion and a commitment to change the world, he embraced challenges, overcame doubts, and seized opportunities. “Everyone kept telling me, ‘Forget about that. That's way too competitive. Too difficult. These are very competitive programs in the United States, and you’re just a kid from Puerto Rico. Hearing that actually made me even more committed to take on the challenge and prove myself,” stated Dr. Garcia-Beltran. Today, he leads his own lab at the Ragon Institute of Mass General Brigham, MIT, and Harvard, where he’s pioneering research on immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and cancer. His team’s recent breakthrough, which found a way to harness NK cells to target virus-infected cells, represents hope for future therapies and highlights the power of innovative thinking in science.

As young nurses, they stepped into the unknown, caring for soldiers on the front lines and facing unimaginable challenges with courage and compassion. Through the MGH Nurses' Alumni Association’s oral history project, we hear their powerful stories of resilience and adaptability—from grueling shifts and improvised care to the deep bonds formed in the midst of war. Their legacy reminds us of the vital role nurses play in times of conflict and the lasting impact of their dedication. Today, we honor their service and the enduring inspiration they provide.

Many of the most common food allergens—milk, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and eggs—are common in lots of candies, so parents often have to check the ingredients carefully before letting their kids dig into their Halloween haul. At Mass General Brigham, researchers are working to find answers to unresolved questions about why and how food allergies occur.

When this happens, the researchers are able to see the alterations that have to occur in the cells, including producing MHC class II molecules, which are responsible for alerting the immune system about what is happening. In blue we see the cell nucleus, green is the molecules, and red is the cancer cells. Studying the interaction and development of these molecules is one of the many ways researchers at the Mass General Research Institute are working towards treatments for breast cancer.

In nature, some mammals can slow or even stop their biological processes while preserving their ability to survive—an ability that could revolutionize human health. At the Perfusion Lab, researchers are working to harness this phenomenon, known as suspended animation, for heart transplants, cardiac arrest treatment, and more. By using cutting-edge techniques like ex vivo perfusion—keeping hearts alive outside the body with a continuous blood flow—they are pushing the limits of organ preservation and recovery.
