Metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells is an emerging hallmark of cancer. Among all the changes in cancer metabolism, increased glucose uptake and the accumulation of lactate under normoxic conditions (the "Warburg effect") is a common feature of cancer cells. In this study, we develop a lactate-responsive drug delivery platform by targeting the Warburg effect.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a multidisciplinary team at the University of Kentucky developed an interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and environmental health unit-the Wastewater Assessment for Coronavirus in Kentucky: Implementing Enhanced Surveillance Technology (WACKIEST) Unit-for high school students in summer 2022. This case study outlines the WACKIEST Unit, which focused on wastewater surveillance and COVID-19, the obstacles faced during development and recruitment, and implementation of the WACKIEST Unit in conjunction with a rural wastewater surveillance initiative. The unit was implemented in spring 2023 at a rural high school in Kentucky, spanning 12 days and engaging 190 students.

Designers are increasingly navigating translocated contexts, presenting the need to develop strong skills in sensitively working with host communities, avoiding surface-level engagements, and considering the longevity, ownership, and impact of designs [1]. This paper reviews a series of co-design workshops organised by Imperial College London and Royal College of Art's MASc Global Innovation Design (GID) students, Abigail Hoover, and Tori Simpson. These workshops assembled a global community of design experts, students, and academics to share their experiences and approaches when designing for diverse communities to create culturally robust design interventions that are contextually innovative in the cultures and communities they exist in.
