VR helmets have gradually entered our lives, making the experience of watching movies and playing games more realistic, and even have begun to try medical applications.
However, according to previous reports, most of VR medical care still stays at the level of mental and psychological diseases, creating a virtual environment for patients, but is VR medical only satisfied with this?
Oculus application helps researchers find out how DNA mutates
Researchers at the Wellcome Medical Center in New York City have begun using VR technology to better understand the state of cancer gene mutations. They developed a new program for the Oculus helmet that allows users to see and interact with 3D models of microscopic proteins.
The project, called "IPM VR," means "Precision Medicine VR Institute," designed to make it easier for researchers to determine where mutations in the patient's DNA have occurred and how mutations have occurred, leading to cancer, their goals. It is to help doctors across the country better understand mutations and quickly find the best treatment to attack the disease.

From a medical point of view, everyone has some DNA mutations. Some are genetic, others are environmental factors such as smoking or sun exposure, while others are new forms of cells that form spontaneously. Most of them are benign, but the wrong combination of mutations can sometimes lead to uncontrolled cell growth in a particular organ or region, ultimately inhibiting the body's normal function, which is cancer.
By observing the molecular building blocks of proteins, the genetic instructions in our DNA, you can see which mutations are harmful. Olivier Ellimont, the founder of the technology, said: "The mutations at the DNA level have little effect. Only when the genes are transcribed to form proteins, these mutations will only have problems when they begin to express themselves."
The structure of a protein is three-dimensional, but usually it is printed on paper. If the clinician does not see the 3D protein model, they cannot fully understand the effects of the mutation. It is in this context that scientists at the Cornell Center developed IPM VR, providing researchers and clinicians with an immersive approach to examining patients' unique genetic mutations.

Intermediate – Intermediate: A material produced during a drug substance processing step that must undergo further molecular modification or refinement to become a drug substance. Intermediates may or may not be isolated. Intermediates are the key products of the previous process of making APIs, which are different in structure from APIs.
for example:
Amoxicillin capsules are called preparations, amoxicillin is called API, and 6-APA is called intermediate.
Ceftriaxone sodium powder is called preparation, sterile ceftriaxone sodium is called API, and 7-ACA is called intermediate.
Our company specializes in providing key intermediates for various APIs
Intermediate is a very important type of fine chemical products. Its essence is a type of "semi-finished product", which is an intermediate product in the production of certain products. For example, if a product is to be produced, it can be produced from intermediates, saving costs and reducing It is widely used in the synthesis of medicines, pesticides, coatings, dyes and spices. In the field of medicine, intermediates are an important link in the industrial chain of the pharmaceutical industry. They are used for some chemical raw materials or chemical products in the process of drug synthesis. In a word, they are used to produce APIs.
