Jennifer Raymond, MD, MCR, Chief of the Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles, is co-leading an innovative multicenter study funded by a four-year R01 NIH grant testing a virtual peer group model鈥攃o-designed with youth and families鈥攖o increase diabetes technology use among Latinx adolescents.
There鈥檚 somewhat of an inside joke in the astronomical community that researchers aren鈥檛 the best at naming things. For example, the first star observed by Webb is named HD 84406. Not so catchy. Neither is galaxy cluster MACS0416, a deep field imaged by Webb recently.
There are exceptions to this, though. Think the Hourglass Nebula, the Cigar Galaxy, or the Cat鈥檚 Paw Nebula. All named for the objects on Earth that they resemble. The Sombrero Galaxy is aptly named for its likeness to the wide-brimmed hat.
However, it appears the name is not always accurate, as NASA鈥檚 James Webb Space Telescope鈥檚 look shows. In the mid-infrared, the 'crown' of the 'hat' is no longer visible, causing the galaxy to take on a much different appearance.
Researchers at Children鈥檚 Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced the creation of a new AI technology called CelloType, a comprehensive model designed to more accurately identify and classify cells in high-content tissue images.
Clinical trials testing cancer immunotherapies significantly under-represented Black patients. So while these treatments have resulted in dramatically improved outcomes for some patients, researchers from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center wanted to understand whether that success holds true for patients who are Black.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) issued today an updated clinical guideline for physicians who use radiation therapy to treat patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. This update incorporates new data on patient selection and best practices from several practice-changing clinical trials published since the prior guideline was issued in 2020.
Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Researchers report in ACS Central Science the ability to leverage one additive in black plastics, with the help of sunlight or white LEDs, to convert black and colored polystyrene waste into reusable starting materials.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an innovative approach鈥攄emonstrated in mouse models and isolated human brain tissue鈥攖o safely and effectively deliver therapeutics into the brain, providing new possibilities for treating a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
