ROR2-expressing acute myelogenous leukemia cells can be selectively targeted by anti-ROR2 CAR T cells
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have revolutionized the treatment of B-cell malignancies but have not yet succeeded in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), largely due to the lack of cell surface antigens that can distinguish leukemia cells from essential normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here, we used a newly developed high-affinity monoclonal antibody (mAb) B16, which is specific for the surface ROR2 in both human and mouse.

Association of Weight-Adjusted-Waist Index With Brain Health: A 16-Year Population-Based Longitudinal Cohort Study
1 Introduction Brain health is defined as the preservation of optimal brain integrity and cognitive function in the absence of overt neurological disorders [1]. It can be influenced by a wide range of conditions, particularly obesity [2, 3]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based neuroimaging features allow for the objective assessment of brain health [4, 5]. Over the past two decades, obesity has progressively emerged as a substantial contributor to the global burden of disease [6, 7].

Edge-guided progressive feature complementary network for visible–infrared remote sensing object detection
ABSTRACT Object detection based on visible – infrared (VI) images is of great importance for remote sensing perception under complex environments. However, existing multimodal detection methods still suffer from insufficient feature representation and limited modal information fusion under low-light and complex background conditions. To address this, this paper proposes the Dual-Branch Cross-Modal Complementary Network (DB-CMCNet), which employs a dual-branch feature extraction architecture.

Laueprocess: a software package for processing Laue diffraction data
With the development of fourth-generation synchrotron radiation sources, generating monochromatic beams from white beams for conventional rotation-based diffraction experiments at 100 K would involve discarding significantly more photons to avoid radiation damage to protein crystals than was necessary for third-generation synchrotron radiation sources. This makes single-pulse Laue diffraction investigations more attractive.
