Ammonium (NH ) concentration is critical to both nutrient availability and nitrogen (N) loss in soil ecosystems but can be highly variable across spatial and temporal scales. For this reason, effectively informing agricultural practices such as fertilizer management and understanding of mechanisms of soil N loss require sensor technologies to monitor ammonium concentrations in real time. Our work investigates the performance of fully printed ammonium ion-selective sensors used in diverse soil environments.

Article Synopsis
- A Phase II clinical trial examined the effects of intravenous vitamin C on patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants to reduce nonrelapse mortality (NRM).
- Patients (55 total) were given IV vitamin C for 14 days, which corrected their initial vitamin C deficiency and showed a trend towards lower NRM (11%) compared to historical controls (25%).
- The study suggests that vitamin C repletion is safe and may improve survival rates (82% vs. 62%), but further randomized trials are necessary to validate these findings.
Background: The optimal timing of vaccination with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines after cellular therapy is incompletely understood. The objectives of this study are to determine whether humoral and cellular responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination differ if initiated <4 months versus 4-12 months after cellular therapy.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational study at 30 cancer centers in the United States.
