pH comes from the term “power of Hydrogen”, or the hydrogen ion concentration present in a given solution. It helps to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.

New SNAP approach to customizing T cell-based immunotherapies

University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a universal receptor system that allows T cells to recognize any cell surface target, enabling highly customizable CAR T cell and other immunotherapies for treating cancer and other diseases.

NUTRISHIELD study: Unraveling the impact of mother's milk on infant growth and health

The NUTRISHIELD study aims to compare the weight gain of preterm and term infants who exclusively receive either own mother's milk or pasteurized donor human milk. The study also evaluates the influence of diet, lifestyle habits, psychological stress, and pasteurization on milk composition and how it affects infant growth, health, and development.
