Unlabelled: Pharmacological inhibition of oncogenic RAS represents an attractive strategy to target pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), an almost ubiquitously RAS-driven disease. However, initial responses to targeted monotherapy inhibition of active RAS can be followed by relapses, potentially driven by the persistence of drug-tolerant tumor cells. To target these "persister" cells, we investigated strategies to increase their immune visibility in mouse models of PDAC.

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and high-resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy were used to identify the chemical state of a Co electrocatalyst in situ during the oxygen evolution reaction. After anodic electrodeposition onto Au(111) from a Co(2+)-containing electrolyte, the chemical environment of Co can be identified to be almost identical to CoOOH. With increasing potentials, a subtle increase of the Co oxidation state is observed, indicating a non-stoichiometric composition of the working OER catalyst containing a small fraction of Co(4+) sites.
