Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic investigaram as bases moleculares do câncer e descobriram uma nova razão pela qual o receptor de antígeno quimérico (terapia com células CAR-T) não funciona em alguns pacientes. Essa descoberta estimulou novas estratégias que incorporam anticorpos e edição genética para melhorar os resultados desse tratamento inovador para os pacientes. Esta pesquisa do Dr. Saad Kenderian, consultor em hematologia da Mayo Clinic, foi publicada na Nature Communications.

Iowa State's Valery Levitas and his collaborators have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that feature different and potentially useful properties.
