  • METASTATIC BRAIN TUMOR TARGETING PEPTIDES
    Publication number: 20240325551
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for targeted treatment of lung cancer-derived metastatic brain tumors. In particular, tumor targeting agents comprising targeting peptides are disclosed that can target a payload, such as a therapeutic or diagnostic agent, to lung cancer-derived metastatic brain tumors. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) polypeptides are disclosed that can be used with adoptive cell transfer to target and kill lung cancer-derived metastatic brain tumors.

  • Method of increasing minority carrier lifetime in silicon web or the like
    Patent number: 4401505
    Abstract: A silicon dendrite is grown as a ribbon forming two silicon crystal layers which are separated by an interface layer which contains a large number of defects. Significant increase of minority carrier lifetime with homogeneous distribution at the outer surfaces of the two silicon crystal layers are achieved by processing the web in an atmosphere of a selected gas, e.g. oxygen, nitrogen or an inert gas, for about 30 minutes to several hours at a temperature preferably on the order of 900.degree. C.-1200.degree. C.
