Reversing drug resistance in lung cancer
Raghuraman Kannan, right, and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri recently received a $2.35 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to generate preclinical data based on their existing research around lung cancer — the required step before human clinical trials can begin. By Eric Stann | MU News Burea When someone is diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer — one of two main forms of lung cancer — there is a 70-80% chance that after 14 months the cancer will develop a resistance to the drug therapy originally given to fight it. If that happens,…

In pursuit of better lithium-ion batteries
MU researchers Matthias J. Young (left) and Xiaoqing He are using a $500,000 grant from NSF to explore a key technical challenge preventing lithium-ion batteries from achieving optimal energy performance. By Eric Stann | MU News Bureau From personal electronics to electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries are used in many technologies today. Over the last 30 years, scientists have worked to improve the overall safety and performance of these batteries by converting a key component, called electrolytes, from liquid to solid — partly due to an issue of the liquid being flammable. Yet, while solid-state lithium-ion batteries — using solid electrolytes…
