Developing transcriptomic biomarkers for TAVO412 utilizing next generation sequencing analyses of preclinical tumor models by Ying Jin, Peng Chen, Huajun Zhou, Guangmao Mu, Simin Wu, Zhengxia Zha, Bin Ma, Chao Han, Mark L. Chiu, Mark L. Chiu

“…IntroductionTAVO412, a multi-specific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), is undergoing clinical development for the treatment of solid tumors. TAVO412 has multiple mechanisms of action for tumor growth inhibition that include shutting down the EGFR, c-Met, and VEGF signaling pathways, having enhanced Fc effector functions, addressing drug resistance that can be mediated by the crosstalk amongst these three targets, as well as inhibiting angiogenesis. …”

Vegetation greening and climate change respectively regulates the long-term trend and interannual variability in evapotranspiration over the Loess Plateau since the 21st century by Qiaoyin Tan, Ting Hua, Ting Hua, Haichen Zhao, Peiye Zhou, Peiye Zhou

“…Despite these findings, the underlying mechanisms driving ET variations remain contentious due to the complex interplay of multiple factors. In this study, we employed a logical attribution method, which attributes vegetation changes predominantly to anthropogenic activities (e.g., reforestation or land-use changes), while directly linking changes in climatic factors (e.g., temperature and precipitation) to climate change. …”
