GX-188E DNA vaccine plus pembrolizumab in HPV 16- and/or 18-positive recurrent or advance cervical cancer: a phase 2 trial.

Background: In an interim analysis of this phase 2 trial, adding the GX-188E vaccine to pembrolizumab resulted in manageable toxicity with antitumor activities in patients with recurrent or advanced cervical cancer. Here, we report the final safety and efficacy results after a long-term follow-up at the study's completion.

Methods: This open-label, single-arm, phase II trial was conducted in nine hospitals in South Korea (ClinicalTrials.

Dust removal on solar panels of exploration rovers using Chladni patterns.

The buildup of dust on solar panels has significantly reduced the operational lifespan and mission performance of exploration rovers, and traditional dust removal techniques have proven inadequate for the Martian environment. The present study proposes a novel method for removing dust from the solar panels of Mars exploration rovers using Chladni patterns, addressing the persistent issue of efficiency loss due to Martian dust accumulation. To overcome these challenges, the proposed method leveraged Chladni patterns, generated by specific frequencies, to effectively clear dust from the panels.

Stretchable Primary-Blue Color-Conversion Layer: Crystallization of Phase-Engineered Perovskite Nanocrystals in an Organic Matrix.

Although the use of ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode backlight with red, green, and blue color-conversion layers (CCLs) in displays simplifies the manufacturing process and improves display uniformity, research on blue CCLs remains limited and has been mostly reported in the sky-blue region (> 470 nm), which is insufficient to satisfy the Rec. 2020 color standard. As halide perovskites offer a high extinction coefficient, color purity, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), they become highly competitive color-converting materials for CCLs.

Integrated role of biochar and PGPR (Leclercia adecarboxylata HW04) in enhancing cadmium phytoremediation and stress tolerance in Glycine max L.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biochar (BC) are recognized as effective biological agents for enhancing stress tolerance and mitigating heavy metal toxicity in crops. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of the cadmium (Cd)-resistant PGPR strain Leclercia adecarboxylata HW04 (>4 mM Cd resistance) on soybean plants exposed to 300 μM Cd. HW04 was observed to possess the innate ability to synthesize indole-3-acetic acid and exopolysaccharides, which facilitated the absorption of Cd in the medium.

Light Quality Plays a Crucial Role in Regulating Germination, Photosynthetic Efficiency, Plant Development, Reactive Oxygen Species Production, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, and Nutrient Acquisition in Alfalfa.

Light is a vital regulator of photosynthesis, energy production, plant growth, and morphogenesis. Although these key physiological processes are well understood, the effects of light quality on the pigment content, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, antioxidant defense systems, and biomass yield of plants remain largely unexplored. In this study, we applied different light-emitting diode (LED) treatments, including white light, red light, blue light, and a red+blue (1:1) light combination, to evaluate the traits mentioned above in alfalfa ( L.
