Hand-intensive manufacturing processes, such as composite layup and textile draping, require significant human dexterity to accommodate task complexity. These strenuous hand motions often lead to musculoskeletal disorders and rehabilitation surgeries. Here we develop a data-driven ergonomic risk assessment system focused on hand and finger activity to better identify and address these risks in manufacturing.

To target these tumors, we used chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with a binder based on mAb806 which recognizes ectopically expressed wild-type EGFR and EGFRvIII.

Despite strong epidemiologic links between cytokine release syndrome and ICANS, it is uncertain how elevated systemic cytokines and activated immune cells cause brain dysfunction. We previously showed that leukocytes plug brain capillaries in an immunocompetent mouse model of CD19-CAR neurotoxicity.

A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters of hits reconstructed in the innermost silicon detector layers is introduced to study highly ionizing particles in heavy-ion data.
