The extent of functional sequences within the human genome is a pivotal yet debated topic in biology. Although high-throughput reverse genetic screens have made strides in exploring this, they often limit their scope to known genomic elements and may introduce non-specific effects. This underscores the urgent need for novel functional genomics tools that enable a deeper, unbiased understanding of genome functionality.

PD-L1/PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are mainstream agents for cancer immunotherapy, but the prognosis is unsatisfactory in solid tumor patients lacking preexisting T-cell reactivity. Adjunct therapy strategies including the intratumoral administration of immunostimulants aim to address this limitation. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), TLR9 agonists that can potentiate adaptive immunity, have been widely investigated to tackle PD-L1/PD-1 resistance, but clinical success has been hindered by inconsistent efficacy and immune-related toxicities caused by systemic exposure.

Predicting Perovskite Photovoltaics Performance.

Wide band gap FACsPb(IBr) perovskite photovoltaic (PV) devices are measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the through-the-glass configuration and analyzed to determine the complex optical property spectra of the perovskite absorber as well as the structural properties of all constituent layers. This information is used to simulate external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra, to calculate PV device performance parameters such as short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, fill factor, and power conversion efficiency, and to develop strategies for increasing the accuracy of predictions. Simulations and calculations tend to overestimate PV device performance parameters, undermining the accuracy and usefulness of those simulations.
