Researchers from the University of Cambridge developed a new smartphone-based system called SegNet, which can identify objects in road scenes in real-time, even without GPS. The system has been successfully tested on city roads and motorways, and could potentially be used as a warning system for driverless cars.
A new study published in International Journal of Epidemiology found that high fitness levels do not offset the increased risk of death associated with obesity. Men with higher aerobic fitness had a lower risk of death compared to those who were obese, regardless of their fitness level.
Researchers at NUS Cancer Science Institute found that USP15 protein regulates the TGF-β pathway by interacting with SMURF2. This interaction enhances stability of the TGF-β receptor and leads to increased cancer progression. The study suggests USP15 as a novel therapeutic target for treating cancers with hyperactivated TGF-β pathways.
