An international team of scientists have identified antibodies that neutralize omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants. These antibodies target areas of the virus spike protein that remain essentially unchanged as the viruses mutate. By identifying the targets of these “broadly neutralizing” antibodies on the spike protein, it might be possible to design vaccines and antibody treatments
Stoned drivers are a lot safer than drunk ones, new federal data shows
A new study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds that drivers who use marijuana are at a significantly lower risk for a crash than drivers who use alcohol.

Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids
In the report The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research, an expert, ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents nearly 100 conclusions related to the health effects of cannabis and cannabinoid use. The committee developed standard language to categorize the
What is image-guided surgery? The focus of On Target Laboratories is the discovery and development of small molecules that, when conjugated with fluorescent dyes, target and illuminate specific cancerous cells and other diseased tissue. This illumination may provide the surgeon with a clearer view of diseased tissue, creating another decision-making tool to benefit the patient.
Relationship between Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Parameters and Anthropometrics in Healthy Volunteers Background In vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is uniquely capable of interrogating laminar myocardial dynamics non-invasively. A comprehensive dataset of quantative parameters and comparison with subject anthropometrics is required. Methods cDTI was performed at 3T with a diffusion weighted STEAM sequence. Data
