Flow cytometry‐based monitoring of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells: Reagent selection, assay design, and clinical utility

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is essential for monitoring post‐infusion CART expansion and persistence and for real‐time clinical decision‐making. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) enables rapid, live‐cell detection with absolute quantification and concurrent immunophenotypic characterization. This review

Social Sustainability in Circular Bioeconomy Business Models: Insights From Argentina

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on circular bioeconomy business models (CBEBM) has largely prioritised environmental and economic aspects, leaving out the social pillar. To address this gap, this paper analyses to what extent and in what ways social sustainability is integrated into CBEBM, based on 12 cases from northern Argentina, a region with high potential for ...

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

A Versatile Multiplexed Immunofluorescence Strategy for Efficient, Host‐Independent, and Scalable Spatial Protein Profiling

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Crowding‐enhanced multiplex immunofluorescence (umIF) provides a versatile strategy for scalable spatial profiling in FFPE tissues. By improving labeling efficiency across direct, one‐step, and two‐step IF formats, umIF enables host‐species‐independent use of primary antibodies and antibody–nanobody complexes, detection of weak targets, and multicycle ...

Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

VIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.
