1,2,4,5-Tetrazine-tethered probes for fluorogenically imaging superoxide in live cells with ultrahigh specificity
Specific detection of cellular superoxide is challenging. Here, the authors designed 1,2,4,5-tetrazine based fluorogenic probes for specific and sensitive imaging of superoxide, and applied them in high throughput screening of modulators of oxidative stress.
A simple bubble-popping game can assess motor skills in young autistic children
A simple bubble-popping game created by our research team revealed differences in visual-motor skills in young autistic children. These differences were accentuated when autistic children had co-occurring ADHD. This engaging game could be part of a broader and scalable digital autism screening tool.
Re-examining SARS-CoV-2 vaccine targeting and dose separation in England
In late 2020 the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in England comprised two key recommendations: (i) prioritise elderly & vulnerable; (ii) interval between first & second doses increased from 3 to 12 weeks. We re-examined these recommendations with a mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 infection in England.
Intraindividual double burden of malnutrition among women (15–49 years) in South Asia
The individual double burden of malnutrition (IDBM) is an underexplored public health problem. In this paper, we did secondary analyses of DHS data in three South Asian countries - India, Myanmar, and Nepal to study the prevalence of the coexistence of anemia and overweight/obesity among women.
