Blocking a key immune protein improves radiation therapy for cancer
Inhibiting YTHDF2, a protein that suppresses a radiation-induced immune response to tumors, improves results of radiation therapy and prevents progression of distant metastasis.
Patterns of brain activity accurately predict tongue shape while feeding
Machine learning matches high-speed, x-ray video of the tongue with neural activity while primates are feeding, and shows that patterns of activation in the brain accurately predict 3D tongue shape.
