Temporal Immune and Metabolic Shifts Drive the Anti‐Tumor Efficacy of Resiquimod‐Loaded Nanoparticles in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a hard‐to‐treat spread of abdominal cancers that often returns after therapy. Nanoparticles were developed to retain an immune‐boosting drug in the abdomen. When combined with chemotherapy in mice, this approach eliminated tumors in many cases and prevented recurrence, helping the immune system mount a stronger, longer ...

Temperate Fruit Breeding in Brazil

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1981
Brazil consumes over 500,000 tons of temperate fruits each year. The most used temperate fruit is the apple, of which about 240,000 tons are consumed annually, followed by the peach with 100,000 tons. The other species of major importance are pear (80,000 tons), fig (45,000 tons), plums (25,000 tons), and nuts (12,000 tons).
