#This Museum Offers Special Glasses to Colorblind Visitors The museum experience relies on visuals. You step into the space expecting to see something new to lose yourself in stunning compositions anderhaps most importantlyivid colors.
But not all museum visitors can perceive color the same way. Visitors to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago can now pick up a pair of Enchroma glasses
and see artworks in their full color spectrum for the first time. By adjusting the separation within red and green coneshe colorblind condition occurs
The MCA Chicago is the first museum to offer these glasses to visitors. Visitors can pick up a pair at the front of the museum
free of charge. The glasses were supplied by Valspar as part of the Color for All campaign, which focuses on bringing Enchroma glasses to those who struggle to see Color in a video,
At the museum, can experience more fully not only the visual nature of pieces but the emotional responses that these colors often spark in their viewers.
Among the many users of these glasses is Matthew Renton, the Director of Communications at the museum.
he suggests that Enchroma wearers spend some time looking at the Martin Creed Painting in the museum cafe.

#3d'organoids'grown from patient tumors could personalize drug screening Three-dimensional cultures (or'organoids')derived from the tumors of cancer patients closely replicate key properties of the original tumors,
These'organoid'cultures are amenable to large-scale drug screens for the detection of genetic changes associated with drug sensitivity
In recent years, scientists have developed organoid cell culture systems as an alternative approach to grow normal and diseased tissue in a dish.
whether these cultures could potentially bridge the gap between cancer genetics and patient outcomes. In the new study, the researchers grew 22 organoids derived from tumor tissue from 20 patients with colorectal cancer
and then sequenced genomic DNA isolated from these cultures. The genetic mutations in the organoid cultures closely matched those in the corresponding tumor biopsies and agreed well with previous large-scale analyses of colorectal cancer mutations.
These findings confirm that the cultures faithfully capture the genomic features of the tumors from
which they are derived as well as much of the genomic diversity associated with colorectal cancer. To link drug sensitivity to genetic changes,
the researchers etched micrometer scale pillars into a silicon surface using photolithography and deep reactive-ion etching,
and then created nanoscale textures on the pillars by wet etching. They then infused the nanotextures with a layer of lubricant that completely coated the nanostructures,
and an international team of colleagues report that a misfolded version of a protein called alpha-synuclein seems to act in a similar way to transmit MSA from diseased human brain tissue to mice and to human cell cultures.
Woerman led a research team in the development of a rapid new method to test prion transmission using human cell cultures.
Human culture stems from knowledge acquired through society's shared experience. Cultural transmission enables new members of society to quickly learn from this accumulated experience.
Then they challenged these cultures with the parasite E. histolytica.""We do this all the time in cancer research,
E. histolytica decimated many thousands of these independent cell cultures. However, a small number of cells seemed to resist the parasite.
Over these generations of selection, we saw the cultures becoming more and more enriched for cells lacking specific genes."

Harvard university scientist George Church and his former student, Farren Isaacs, of Yale, held a press conference to announce a breakthrough of their own.
Isaacs and Church described how, in separate experiments, they created what they called a enomically reordered organism, or GRO.
Church and Isaacs recently announced they had formed a Boston-based company, enevolv, to supply such GROS for use by industry to,
Church declared that e are aiming at modifying plant and animal cells, and maybe plants and animals. potential objection to the technology is already apparent:
Church likewise argues that his GROS are safe because they depend upon unnatural amino acids that are supplied only in the lab. Withhold these and the bacteria die.
Both Romesberg and Church reported a tiny fraction of the bacteria managed to slip the genetic handcuffs via mutation.
Black silicon consists of clusters of microscopic vertical pillars or nanowires. Incoming light bouncing between individual silicon nanowires cannot escape the complex structure,
