Immunotherapy
A recent study published in Cancer Letters has made significant advancements in the treatment of rare tumors such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCC/PGL) by harnessing the immune system to eliminate tumor cells. The research, conducted by a team of scientists from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child
Immunotherapy
Researchers at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran have made a significant breakthrough in the development of gene therapy for HER2-positive cancers. By creating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that co-express IL-15, they have demonstrated enhanced immunotherapy efficacy against these aggressive malignancies. The study, published in the
Privacy
Researchers from the Guilin University of Electronic Technology have developed a distributed privacy-preserving k-means algorithm, DTK-means, designed to address the issue of intermediate cluster details exposure in traditional k-means methods. The algorithm involves multiple users and two non-colluding servers, ensuring that neither the participants nor the servers have knowledge of

As the US-Africa trade deal, known as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), approaches its quarter-century mark, its future remains uncertain. The deal, which has been in place since 2000, has provided duty-free access to the US market for thousands of products from roughly 35 sub-Saharan African countries. The
LEDs
Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University have made a significant discovery in the field of boron research, revealing that boron ion implantation can improve the optoelectronic performance of micro-LED arrays for visible light communication (VLC). The study investigated the impact of pixel size and inter-pixel gap width on
Microbiota (Symbiotic organisms)
Researchers at Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin, China, have made a groundbreaking discovery on the benefits of a complex composed of Lactobacillus paracasei JY091 and royal jelly. The study, published in Food Bioscience, reveals that this complex can significantly enhance immune function and improve the diversity of intestinal flora. The
Microbiota (Symbiotic organisms)
Research published in the Frontiers in Veterinary Science journal has revealed that a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LAC), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG), and Montmorillonite (MMT) can effectively alleviate tissue damage caused by AFB1 exposure and enhance LAB colonization capacity in mouse intestines. According to the study, the combination of LGG, LAC,
