Promising discovery for cataract treatment! #NEI intramural scientists, led by Wei Li, identified a protein known as RNF114 that reverses #cataracts in the 13-lined ground squirrel. The findings may lead to a surgery-free strategy for treating the condition. https://bit.ly/3XRRoQ8 #NEIfunded National Institutes of Health (NIH): Intramural Research Program (IRP) The Journal of Clinical Investigation

We’ve launched a challenge that aims to promote data sharing. The S-index challenge will assess how effectively researchers share data. Participants will be judged on their proposed methods for calculating the index on factors like the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and reusable), timeliness, completeness, utilization frequency, and influence.
