Ex vivo quantification of anti-tumor T-cell activity upon anti-PD-1 treatment in patient-derived lung tumor-on-chip

This study develops and validates lung-tumor-on-chip platforms to measure ex vivo anti-PD-1 treatment effects on T-cell activity using live imaging and image analysis.

An immunoPET probe to SARS-CoV-2 reveals early infection of the male genital tract in rhesus macaques

This paper uses immunoPET to track SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus macaques, revealing infection of the male genital tract and differences in lung pathology between SARS-CoV-2 variants.

3D nanoscale analysis of bone healing around degrading Mg implants studied by X-ray scattering tensor tomography

This study uses X-ray scattering tensor tomography to analyze 3D nanostructural changes in bone healing around degrading Mg implants over 18 months.

Artificial feeding of invasive grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) at urban parks: a social norms approach to understand its drivers and to guide behavioral interventions

The paper investigates why people feed grey squirrels in urban parks and finds that it is driven by social norms and perceptions of risk, suggesting interventions based on descriptive norms could reduce feeding.

Prospective evaluation of renal function in dogs with chronic mitral valve disease

This study evaluates the impact of worsening cardiac disease on renal function in dogs with chronic mitral valve disease and finds no direct link between CHF and worsening renal function.

Graphical factorial surveys reveal the acceptability of wildlife observation at protected areas.

The paper assesses visitor acceptability of human-wildlife encounters with alpine ibex using modified images, finding that distance and group size significantly influence perceived acceptability.

Polylactic acid, a sustainable, biocompatible, transparent substrate material for Organ-On-Chip and Microfluidic applications

This paper evaluates Polylactic Acid (PLA) as a sustainable, biocompatible alternative to PDMS for Organ-On-Chip and Microfluidic applications, highlighting its advantages in surface properties, biocompatibility, and manufacturability.

Protection of rhesus macaques against vaginal SHIV challenges by VRC01 and an anti-α4β7 antibody

This study shows that combining VRC01 and Rh-4β7 antibodies delays SHIV infection, preserves CD4+ T cells, and alters immune responses in macaques.
