ICOS‐ImmunoPET Monitors T Cell Activation After Combination Immune Checkpoint Blockade in a Mouse Model of Melanoma Brain Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ICOS‐immunoPET noninvasively visualizes activated T cells in melanoma brain metastases following combined anti‐PD‐1/anti‐CTLA‐4 therapy. Clinical translation of this imaging approach may improve patient stratification and treatment monitoring and serve as a quantitative imaging endpoint to support immunotherapy development and clinical trials in brain ...

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration

Advanced Materials
AbstractPreserving coral reefs is crucial for safeguarding marine biodiversity, global ecosystems, and coastal communities. Coral restoration focuses on farming and transplanting corals back onto reefs. However, traditional attachment methods, such as petroleum‐based epoxy, pose environmental risks or provide inefficient affixation.

A Review of Coral Reef Restoration Methods

Journal of Student Research, 2023
Due to global warming and human activity, the coral population has decreased by 50% since the 1950s. (Wetzel, 2021).  Many policies have been placed on conserving the coral reefs, but more is needed to stop the rapid decline. All around the world, different researchers performed multiple types of restoration methods to try and reverse the damage and ...
