Cold plasma patch could make immunotherapy more effective for treating melanoma, study finds
Strategies to improve efficacy and reduce side effects of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy are clinically relevant. Here, we described a transdermal cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-mediated ICB therapy. Local delivery of CAP through hollow-structured...
Innovative ‘biplane’ design could lead to next generation of wind turbines
"The basic idea behind the biplane design is to reduce their mass, and therefore the stresses on the entire turbine structure,” Wirz said. “The concept is similar to why we use ‘I’ beams for the steel frames of larger buildings: It’s an ideal shape to carry heavy...
