Microbiota-derived 3-IAA influences chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer

Nature, Published online: 22 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41586-023-05728-y

Indole-3-acetic acid (3-IAA), a tryptophan metabolite derived from the gut microbiota, is associated with a better response to chemotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and dietary interventions could have a role in the treatment of PDAC.

Realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in coupled quantum dots

Nature, Published online: 15 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-05585-1

A minimal artificial Kitaev chain can be realized by using two spin-polarized quantum dots in an InSb nanowire strongly coupled by both elastic co-tunnelling and crossed Andreev reflection.
