- Insects are limited in size due to constraints on their ability to deliver oxygen through their tracheal systems, as explored in research by Snelling et al.
- Highlights include studies showing that a faster biological clock predicts shorter lifespan and the development of a cost-effective, energy-efficient mini-magnet.
- CRISPR technology has been used to create CAR-T cell cancer therapies directly within mice, offering a potential in vivo approach for immunotherapies, as detailed in work by Nyberg et al.
