Many of our cells are covered by a fuzzy layer of protein, lipids and sugars called the glycocalyx. This layer serves many important functions, but it may also help cancer cells evade the immune system, increase drug resistance, and enhance metastasis. NIBIB postdoc fellow Andrew Massey recently received the NIH Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE) award for his work researching the glycocalyx of pancreatic cancer cells. By exposing these cells to enzymes to selectively break down this layer, Andrew can investigate how it affects the cancer’s physical traits and ability to evade the immune system. The findings of this project could uncover new opportunities for treatments of pancreatic cancer.

Nearly 800 #NIH_IRP summer interns participated in The National Institutes of Health 2024 Summer Poster Day event, presenting an exciting variety of research, including new applications for virtual reality technology, experimental antifungal treatments, and how the brain perceives pitch in sounds. Get to know some of this year’s summer interns and the work they have been conducting in IRP labs: https://go.nih.gov/vvBnKi2 Pictured (clockwise): Joseph Lang (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute), Johnathan Mo (National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)), Isabel Carino-Bazan (National Institute on Aging (NIA)), Thomas Savage (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)), and Amarachukwu Uzondu (National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)) #virtualreality #antifungaltreatments

“When people think of researchers, someone in a wheelchair usually doesn’t come to mind. As a biomedical engineering researcher and student who uses a chair, that needs to change” — Maya Evohr, NIH intern Maya is finishing a joint bachelor's and master’s degree in biomedical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and plans to pursue a Ph.D. focused on tissue engineering and biomaterials. Maya finds herself having to advocate for increased accessibility in research spaces. Having only ever met one other biomedical engineer who uses a chair, she knows the importance of increasing disability representation and that — for the field to be its best — all researchers need to be included, especially those who will benefit most from the solutions we find. She plans to establish her own tissue engineering lab in the future, setting an example for students who haven’t seen themselves represented in STEM. Maya is looking forward to when inclusivity means that she gets to be seen as a researcher first and a wheelchair user second, always.

The NIH RADx Tech ACT ENDO Challenge is a new initiative to improve endometriosis diagnostics and offers $3 million in prizes. Endometriosis affects approximately 1 in 10 reproductive-aged women worldwide, and innovative diagnostic solutions are urgently needed. We invite all innovators to develop technologies that can help: ✅ Shorten diagnosis time ✅ Eliminate the invasiveness of current techniques ✅ Improve accessibility, safety, convenience, and costs.

The analysis of human tissue samples hasn’t fundamentally changed for more than a century. While this technique is highly informative, it is inherently limited by its two-dimensional nature. Humans, after all, aren’t flat, and 2D image slices can only tell us so much about our 3D bodies. 3D pathology techniques have begun to emerge, but here’s the catch: the information captured from 3D sampling is enormously more complex than what is gathered from traditional 2D image slices. Analyzing 3D tissue datasets manually is nearly impossible and important details that could help improve prognosis are likely missed. A team of NIBIB-funded researchers recently developed TriPath, an AI platform that can analyze 3D pathology images to predict disease outcomes. Their method improved performance in predicting prostate cancer outcomes when compared with traditional pathology approaches.
