Australia's Urban Evolution: Understanding Population, Climate, and Housing Dynamics

Urban areas worldwide are undergoing rapid population expansions, which drive not only economic growth but also lead to higher housing costs. In this paper, we propose a novel estimation approach to estimate the impact of population growth on housing costs using Australian city-level panel data.

Quadrivalent self-amplifying mRNA vaccines generate protective antibody and cell-mediated immunity to influenza

Self-amplifying mRNA is a promising platform for vaccine development, highlighted by our group's recent publication in npj Vaccines showing that a quadrivalent bicistronic sa-mRNA vaccine can generate protective immunity to both HA and NA from 4 influenza strains when formulated in a single vaccine.

Wake slow waves in focal human epilepsy impact network activity and cognition

During sleep, slow waves carry a restorative function in normalizing neuronal excitability. Here, using intracranial recordings from patients with focal epilepsy, we provide evidence of a beneficial impact of wake slow waves against excitability associated with epileptiform discharges.
