Robotics can help you ‘ brace ’ yourself after head and neck cancer.
Researchers at Columbia University have developed a robotic neck brace to help doctors analyze the impact of cancer treatments on neck mobility and to guide in patient recovery. In existing techniques, doctors use to assess the range of motion in the neck and shoulders, that a patient might lose ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

NIH Glycobiology Special Topics Seminar: Introduction to glycan structures, nomenclature, and glycosylation pathways
This special topics lecture series will provide an overview of the fundamental facts, concepts, and methods concerning glycosylation with an emphasis on aspects relevant to human health and disease.
Glycosylation mediates a wide variety of cellular functions and all multicellular organisms utilize glycans as biosignals in normal physiology. Most mammalian proteins contain sugar chains (referred to as glycans). These glycoproteins are formed as secondary gene products by the concerted action o f glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and high-energy sugar nucleotides. Therefore, the biosynthesis of glycans is not controlled ...
