老驥伏櫪，志在千里。今年73歲的國際知名癌細胞和免疫學專家麥德華博士（Dr. Tak Wah Mak），在免疫學上又再取得新的突破，發現免疫細胞受腦部指揮；獲加拿大總督帕耶特（Julie Payette）在今年6月下旬，頒發加拿大醫療研究中心（Canadian Institutes of HealthResearch, CIHR）的金葉獎（Gold Leaf Prize），表揚他在醫學上的新發現。

麥德華表示：「兩、三年前會覺得發現T細胞受體（T-cell Receptor），是一生中最值得自豪；但今日找到腦部與免疫細胞有關連，證實免疫細胞是由腦部指揮工作，終於破解了醫學上170年的謎團，才是個人更大的成就。」
德國科學家Rudolf Wagner在1849年，無意中發現一條腦神經連接到免疫細胞，但直到170年後，麥德華領導的研究小組，才發現免疫細胞可以製造神經元。事實上，1960年已經有兩名科學家，發現免疫細胞中有神經元，但當時覺得兩者就像是將電線放在粥內。
