Behind the scenes
Farcast's TruTumor histoculture platform captures dynamic interactions between tumor and immune components to predict response to anti-PD1 in head and neck cancer
Enhanced infection susceptibility as a consequence of chronic starvation in polar bears
A recent article addresses the worrysome links existing between the progressively increasing Arctic Sea ice melting and the chronic starvation experienced by polar bears (Ursus maritimus) (1).
Cross-catenation between position-isomeric metallacages
The study of cross-catenated metallacages, which are complex self-assembly systems arising from multiple supramolecular interactions and hierarchical assembly processes, is currently lacking. We report a cross-catenane formed between two position-isomeric Pt(II) metallacages in the solid state.

Defect induced giant electromechanical effects: the backstory
Barium Titanate is a well known ferroelectric and piezoelectric material, i.e. materials that strain with voltage. We show in this work that one can remove ferroelectricity in this material by placing defects, yet, hugely enhancing the electromechanical effects. This is useful in context of M/NEMS.
