KAIST develops precision antibody targeting intracellular cancer mutations

Researchers at KAIST developed an antibody that detects traces of cancer-causing mutations that are difficult to reach with conventional antibody treatments. KAIST said the antibody selectively recognises only cancer cells carrying the KRAS G12D mutation by targeting mutation fragments presented on the cell surface. Tests showed little reaction to normal cells or other proteins, and immunotherapy experiments indicated effective removal of such cancer cells. The team is verifying efficacy in animal disease models.

ETRI machine-learning-based frequency forecasting method set as international standard

A machine-learning-based methodology developed by South Korean researchers to assess and predict frequency availability has been adopted as a new reference approach in international radio spectrum management. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute said an ITU-R Study Group 1 meeting in Geneva approved a new report on spectrum availability assessment and forecasting. The methodology draws on ETRI research using mobile network data and will be issued as an official ITU-R report after final editing.
