- CAR-T therapy is a new way to treat blood cancers and is being looked at for other diseases and issues like solid tumors and aging.
- Traditional methods to create these CAR-T cells can hurt the cells or cause problems, making them less safe and effective.
- A new method called hydroporation helps make more healthy CAR-T cells quickly and efficiently, which could lead to better treatments for patients.
A small wearable camera, SenseCam, passively captured pictures from everyday experience that were later used to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of autobiographical memory. Nine undergraduates wore SenseCams that took pictures every 10 s for two days. After one week and one month, participants first recalled their experiences from specific time periods (timeslices), then reviewed the corresponding pictures to make corrections and report information omitted from initial recall.

- CAR-T therapy is revolutionary for treating blood cancers and is being explored for other conditions, but faces manufacturing and safety issues.
- Traditional methods for cell engineering can lead to random gene placement or cellular damage, which can affect therapy effectiveness.
- Hydroporation is introduced as a more effective method, yielding higher quality CAR-T cells with better growth and performance, and can be scaled up quickly for large production needs.
Background: Technology is pivotal in nursing education, with methods such as the flipped classroom, active learning, and patient simulation becoming integral. Despite this, persistent barriers hinder technology's full integration.
Methods: An online survey collected data from nursing faculty members (n = 1761) in prelicensure nursing programs.
