Rice engineer receives NSF grant to study effect of varying temperatures on coronavirus

Daniel Preston, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rice's Brown School of Engineering, has received a National Science Foundation Rapid Response Research grant to study the effect of varying temperatures on the lifetime of the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Panel releases draft priorities for comparative effectiveness research

The draft, which offered insight into the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's priorities and research agenda, did not single out any specific diseases or treatments. The Institute did seek public comment.

Activating TAp63 protein, a viable anti-cancer strategy

Oncologists have had their hands tied because more than half of all human cancers have mutations that disable a protein called p53. As a critical anti-cancer watchdog, p53 masterminds several cancer-fighting operations within cells. When cells lose p53, tumors grow aggressively and often cannot be treated.

Hitachi Aloka Medical becomes exclusive global distributor of iVu Imaging's SOFIA system

Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd. (Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, President: Mr. Minoru Yoshizumi) and iVu Imaging Corporation announced the signing of an agreement making Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd. the exclusive global distributor of iVu's SOFIA system, an automated whole breast ultrasound scanner designed to enable the earlier detection of breast cancer in women with mammographically dense breasts.

Neurally-interfaced hand prosthesis re-establishes communication between nervous systems

Amputation disrupts not only the peripheral nervous system but also central structures of the brain. While the brain is able to adapt and compensate for injury in certain conditions, in amputees the traumatic event prevents adaptive cortical changes. A group of scientists reports adaptive plastic changes in an amputee's brain following implantation of multielectrode arrays inside peripheral nerves.
