Precision therapy for RET-altered cancers with RET inhibitors [PDF]
Trends in Cancer, 2021 Rearranged during transfection (RET) is involved in the physiological development of some organ systems. Activating RET alterations via either gene fusions or point mutations are potent oncogenic drivers in non-small cell lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and in multiple diverse cancers. RET-altered cancers were initially treated with multikinase inhibitors

Identification of Vocs Responsible of Odour During Field Retting of Hemp Stems
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021 Incorporation of natural fibres into polymers to manufacture biocomposites is a way of limiting the environmental impact of these materials. However, the fibres quality is essential to fulfil their assigned role as reinforcement in biocomposites.
