SPEAKER:
1. Defense Secretary is looking at how biological science, can inform the development of technology to save the livers of military personnel.
2. DARPA’s hope: health, combat forces, battlefield medicine & brain injury
3. DARPA launched Biological Technologies Office
4. Ways to head off infectious diseases
TIME 2: 2’22’’41
Personalized cancer drugs are used to many cancer patients those days, however, a randomized clinical trial shows that cancer drug off-label provides no benefit over conventional chemotherapy. Apostolia doesn’t fully agree with the conclusion, she believes the trail has some flaws on: Choosing patients, selecting drugs and even implementing approach.
TIME 3: 1’41’’26
Some people concedes the trial has some defections, some personalized cancer trials are under way. People believe that if those trials have better effect there will be a severe regulatory challenge.
TIME 4: 2’11’’21
Camouflaging nanoparticles to look like cell fragments could help them past the body’s immune, research are led by Zhang. Disguised particles could: 1. Evade detection, 2. Exploit natural properties of platelets. Previously tried has been completed by researcher, but Zhang’s boast the most complete set of membrane protein yet.
TIME 5: 2’09’’10
Body: Zhang’s cloaked nanoparticles have benefit on:
1. Reducing MRSA bacteria populations in the liver and spleen
2. Tend to damage blood vessel with platelets
However, still have some questions: small fraction of particles VS majority of them in liver and spleen.
Conclusion: Developing therapies from hybrid nanoparticles will be a long road.
TIME 6: 1’47’’10
THE REST: 41’’32
An 8.3-magnitude earthquake that struck Chile recently damage a telescope, which operated by a US-Brazil collaboration. It also triggers tsunami but doesn’t bring huge damage as a result of timely warnings and evacuation. However, scientists fear that a “Big One” tsunami is still waiting to happen in Chile and they still keep eyes on it.
OBSTACLE: 8’50’’49
1. In general, VW violates which Act and points how, installs specific software to pass EPA pollution test. And also indicates about how much penalty.
