Neutrons Settle Long-Held Debate on Cancer
Drug Design
In just two neutron experiments, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory scientists discovered remarkable details about the
function of an enzyme that can aid drug design for aggressive
cancers. The team used neutrons and x-rays to draw a
roadmap of every atom, chemical bond, and electrical charge
inside a key enzyme that belongs to a metabolic pathway that
cancer cells dramatically overuse to reproduce. Watch this
video to learn more.
Substrate/drug
Modified Pacifier, AI Can Determine Newborns'
Nursing Mechanics
A modified pacifier combined with AI algorithms to analyze
the data it produces could determine whether newborns are
learning the proper mechanics of nursing. The device was made
up of a simple pacifier, connected to a 36-in.-long tube
connected in turn to a vacuum sensor and a chip that collects
the data from the sensor. The data can help determine whether
a surgical intervention is necessary.
Why Omalizumab Has the Potential to Be a 'LifeChanging'
Food Allergy Medication
Watch this video to see Robert Wood, director of pediatric
allergy and immunology at Johns Hopkins, discuss results that
suggest omalizumab has the potential to be a life-changing
medication for patients with food allergy, including those with
multiple food allergies. The researchers also found that omalizumab
injections increased participants' threshold reactivity not just to
peanuts but to other common food allergens to levels that would
protect most patients from reactions after accidental exposure.
How TBP Helps with Skin Lesion Correspondence
Localization
Longitudinal tracking of skin lesions is beneficial to the early
detection of melanoma. However,
it has not been wellinvestigated
in the context of full-body imaging. Watch this
video to see a novel framework combining geometric and
texture information to localize skin lesion correspondence from
a source scan to a target scan in total body photography (TBP).
