Prosecutors statewide were blindsided earlier this week by news that the Kentucky Parole Board is giving nearly 50 violent offenders another shot at parole.
On Wednesday, the Commonwealth s Attorneys Association learned that the state parole board had issued a new directive on April 1 nearly six weeks before that offenders with life sentences can no longer be issued a serve out during their first parole hearing. The new rule would be to defer parole eligibility at that initial hearing for no longer than 120 months, or 10 years. The issuance of a serve out at that first hearing is expressly prohibited.
New noninvasive imaging device could be used in biomedical research, translational medicine
A biochemical reaction between an enzyme called luciferase and oxygen causes fireflies to glow and is considered one of the most well-known examples of bioluminescence in nature.
Now, an international team of researchers led by Elena Goun at the University of Missouri is working to harness the power of bioluminescence in a low-cost, noninvasive portable medical imaging device that could one day be applied to many uses in biomedical research, translational medicine and clinical diagnoses.
Potential uses include developing better treatments for cancer, diabetes and infectious diseases, along with monitoring various metabolic functions, such as gut health, in both animals and humans, said Goun, an associate professor of chemistry in the College of Arts and Science and corresponding author on the study published in

An international team of researchers at the University of Missouri developed the low cost, portable medical imaging device, which could reduce the need for more invasive testing.
Potential uses include developing better treatments for cancer, diabetes and infectious diseases, said corresponding author and associate professor of chemistry Elena Goun. It could also monitor various metabolic functions, such as gut health, in both animals and humans.
