Somatic gene mutation patterns and burden influence outcomes with enasidenib in relapsed/refractory IDH2-mutated AML by Risueño, A, See, WL, Bluemmert, I, de Botton, S, DiNardo, CD, Fathi, AT, Schuh, AC, Montesinos, P, Vyas, P, Prebet, T, Gandhi, A, Hasan, M

“…We recently reported results from the phase 3 IDHENTIFY trial (NCT02577406) showing improved response rates and event-free survival with enasidenib monotherapy compared with conventional care regimens (CCR) in heavily pretreated, older patients with late-stage R/R AML bearing IDH2 mutations. Here we investigated the prognostic impact of mutational burden and different co-mutation patterns at study entry within the predominant IDH2 variant subclasses, IDH2-R140 and IDH2-R172. …”

Graphene metamaterials for intense, tunable, and compact extreme ultraviolet and X-ray sources by Pizzi, Andrea, Rosolen, Gilles, Wong, Liang Jie, Ischebeck, Rasmus, Soljačić, Marin, Feurer, Thomas, Kaminer, Ido

“…For 5 MeV electrons, a metamaterial of 50 layers and length 50 µm, and a beam current of 1.7 µA, it is, for instance, possible to generate X-rays of intensity 1.5 × 107 photons sr-1 s-1 1%BW, 580 times more than for a single-layer design. …”
