Location, location, location: The hidden power of intracellular neighborhoods
2023-12-21
Highlights Messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into proteins in the cytoplasm of cells. But rather than being a uniform “soup,” the cytoplasm is divided into multiple distinct compartments or regions. Each region is largely responsible for translating functionally similar types of mRNA, a new MSK study finds. And the location of translation determines the amount of protein produced by the mRNA. The movement of mRNA to specific regions is directed by their size and shape, as well as by RNA-binding protein partners. The findings could help develop new approaches to increase ...

The Council of Medical Specialty Societies awards CHEST a $100,000 grant to improve diagnostic excellence in ILD

2023-12-21
Glenview, IL – The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) was awarded a $100,000 grant from the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) to improve diagnostic excellence in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The funded project, called, "'How We Do It': CHEST Experts Weigh In," aims to inform future best practices in reducing the time to diagnosis for ILDs. The activities in the series will prepare the learner to: define symptoms and patient profiles associated with ILD; recognize health inequities that may assist in the diagnosis of ILD; identify the appropriate tests that may help validate a suspicion of ILD; ...

Center for BrainHealth investigates the impact of auditory beat stimulation on cognition

2023-12-21
Certain Frequencies Enhance Comprehension New research conducted by the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas investigates the impact of binaural beat (BB) on language skills. BB is a sound that occurs when two slightly mismatched pure tones are heard. There is a growing interest in using BB as a non-invasive neuromodulation to enhance cognitive performance. The study, Neural consequences of binaural beat stimulation on auditory sentence comprehension: an EEG study, was recently published in Cerebral Cortex.  Led by researchers in the Speech, Language and Music (SLAM) Lab, this EEG ...

A pancake stack of radioactivity-sensitive films carried through the sky by a balloon was able to take the world's most accurate picture of a neutron star's gamma ray beam. To achieve this, Kobe University researchers combined the oldest method of capturing radioactive radiation with the newest data capturing techniques and a clever time-recording device. The stars shine their light on us in the full range of the spectrum of light, from infra-red to gamma rays. For each of these bands, different sensing equipment is needed. The most challenging one is gamma rays, famous for being a high-energy product of nuclear fission, ...
