Method for Measuring Human Vision Cortical Magnification Factor
In human vision, varying amounts of neural resources are devoted to visual fields. Retinotopic mapping uses fMRI to give a projection of the visual field and its cortical representation in a subject. Cortical magnification factor (CMF) is a common measure of the ratio of the cortical areas devoted to each region of the visual field, to show visual acuity...

Allosteric Inhibitors of the Main Protease of SARS-CoV-2
In this report, the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro was expressed and purified. By using a FRET-based enzymatic assay, the researchers have screened a library consisting of more than 300 different niclosamide derivatives and identified three molecules JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941 as potent allosteric inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, with IC50 values like that...

Calcimycin as Antifungals
A new antifungal treatment is necessary, as pathogens evolve and develop immunity to current methods. Here, the inventors present calcimycin (CMN) as a novel treatment of cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) and likely Cryptococcus gattii (Cga). CMN prevents the protein from continuing to splice. While the current treatment methods...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors
Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...
