Hamilton Health Sciences treated an 18-year-old Western University student with the world’s first exosome therapy for burns, sparing her from facial grafts after a London fraternity house fire. The therapy, given on compassionate grounds in two doses, produced remarkable healing and could reshape burn care with further trials and wider use in the future.
Researchers captured the first comprehensive image of all satellite streaks over the Arctic sky on February 22, 2025, using 14 cameras in Eureka, Canada, revealing extensive satellite activity and advancing Canada's space monitoring capabilities, especially amid the proliferation of mega-constellations like Starlink.
Researchers at Western University in London have developed an injection that could potentially rid patients of HIV, with clinical trials set to begin later this year. The injection targets residual HIV in the body, potentially allowing patients to stop long-term treatment and live without the virus. The approach is highly targeted and not expected to cause significant side effects, with the first human trials focusing on safety. The injection will be made in London, and a recent study testing its effectiveness on blood samples from HIV patients has shown promising results.
A study led by Western University's Catherine Neish suggests that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is likely non-habitable due to the difficulty of transferring organic molecules from its surface to its subsurface ocean, making it challenging for life to exist. This finding also raises doubts about the habitability of other icy worlds in the Solar System, indicating that the search for extraterrestrial life within our own cosmic neighborhood may be less promising than previously thought.
