Taming CAR T cell therapy toxicity
Nature Materials, Published online: 30 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01742-7
Post-infusion poly(ethylene glycol) surface modification of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells and a subcutaneous chemokine-adsorbing hydrogel address cytokine release syndrome and the neurotoxicity side effects of CAR T cell therapy against tumours.

Auxetic piezoelectric effect in heterostructures
Nature Materials, Published online: 30 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01736-5
Piezoelectrics have longitudinal and transverse piezoelectric coefficients that are opposite in sign. Here, by tuning the interface inversion asymmetry in heterostructures, auxetic systems with positive longitudinal and transverse coefficients are realized, with expansion or contraction along all directions in an electric field.
