[Photo/chinadaily.com.cn] Noitom Ltd, a Chinese company focused on motion capture technology, unveiled its mixed reality products on Saturday to make what's unreal seem real and what's real seem unreal. The latest product, Trance, is a mixed reality production system that integrates motion capture and a virtual camera. The high-tech system enables an all-in-one real-time production, including early pre-production and content creation, which will greatly improve efficiency while producing works in varied fields including television. Virtual reality has infinite possibilities in a variety of areas. We expect to bring a more creative immersive experience to help VR walk into everyone's life, said Dai Ruoli, co-founder and CTO of Noitom. Noitom, founded in 2012, has provided advanced technologies and solutions to an array of films both at home and abroad, including Game of Thrones, Wolverine, Crazy Nian and Sword Master. We endeavor to not only deliver our technologies to the film, gaming and animation but also extend them to vertical areas including education, medicine and science in the future, Liu Haoyang, the company's co-founder and CEO, said. cheap rubber bracelets personalized no minimumsilicone wristbands customthick rubber wristbandsrubber band braceletsdesign rubber bracelets
NANJING -- A Chinese research team used two critical genes to regulate the size of mice organs and bodies as similarly seen in the sci-fi movie Ant-man.The research team, led by Professor Xu Yujun of the Nanjing Medical University in eastern China's Jiangsu Province, said the research could lead to new methods of human tumor therapy.Xu said they removed two genes called Pum1 and Pum2 in the mice's embryonic periods and observed the newborn mice bodies were integrally and proportionally smaller than normal ones. Researchers can exclude the effects of other factors like feeding and growth hormones.Further study showed that mice embryos without Pum1 were already smaller than others during the 13.5 days of their embryonic periods.Knocking out the Pum1 gene did not affect the lifetime or health conditions of the mice, said Xu. He pointed out that the research team observed the mice over 96 weeks, which is equivalent to the human age of 70. No significant defects were shown in the mice.We believe without the Pum1 gene, the growth speed of cells slows, which led to a reduction of cell quantity, said Xu. He explained that the genes play a regulatory role in the process of RNA producing proteins, so as to control the proliferation of cells.Xu said another member of Pum gene family, Pum2, can affect the mice's weight, but its effect was less significant than Pum1.His team has achieved a precise control over the size of mice after they found any reduction of Pum1 or Pum2 can lead to the reduction of size.The mechanism has great potential to be used for treating human tumors, Xu said. A tumor is an abnormal mass of cells that proliferate uncontrollably. We are looking forward to opening a new road for human tumor therapy using gene technology for regulating the speed of cell proliferation.The research result was published in the latest issue of Cell Press, a top international journal in the field of bioscience.
