Abstract: The present disclosure provides an anode assembly for a battery cell. The battery cell comprises a separator layer, an anode layer, an anode current collector, and a seal. The anode layer is at least partially disposed on the separator layer and has a first surface facing the separator layer, a second surface facing away from the separator layer, and an outer surface extending from the first surface to the second surface. The anode layer comprises a solid-state electrolyte (SSE) having pores. The anode current collector is coupled to the second surface of the anode layer. The seal is substantially impervious to liquid. The present disclosure also provides methods of forming an anode assembly for a battery cell.

Abstract: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are primary brain lesions with poor overall survival rates. Nearly 95% of patients die within 5 years of primary diagnosis. One of the leading factors to this high mortality is the inevitable nature of cancer recurrence. Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to the identification and treatment of glioblastoma. Specifically, disclosed herein are methods for identifying progressing glioblastoma, and distinguishing it from pseudo-progression.

Abstract: A method is provided for a frozen egg bank comprising a) retrieving egg cells from an egg donor; b) cryopreserving said eggs in a cryopreservation solution; c) quarantining said eggs; and d) testing the egg donor for an infectious agent following a quarantine period of time. Optionally the method may also include testing the egg donor for genetic disorders, stimulating follicular development of the egg donor, and releasing the eggs for sale following step (d).
