Cartilage tympanoplasty
Cartilage tympanoplasty is a surgical technique that repairs a perforated eardrum with a rigid cartilage graft, usually from the tragus, achieving better anatomical outcomes than fascia grafts.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), or McKusick type metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by RMRP gene variants, causing short-limb short stature, sparse hair, immunodeficiency, anemia, and cancer risk.

Caryocar
Caryocar (pequi trees) is a genus of 16 Neotropical tree species in Caryocaraceae, Malpighiales, native to Tropical America; C. brasiliense yields pequi fruit and oil rich in oleic acid.
Caryocar brasiliense
Caryocar brasiliense (pequi, pequizeiro) is a Caryocaraceae tree native to Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay, emblematic of the Cerrado. Its oily, carotenoid-rich fruit supports extractive food, cosmetic, and medicinal uses, protected since 1987 and by Brazil's 2025 national pequi policy.

A Cas12a assay is a CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection method in which target-bound Cas12a cuts nearby single-stranded DNA reporters, giving a fluorescent signal that detects viruses, bacteria, and cancer DNA.
Cas9
Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) is the RNA-guided DNA endonuclease of type II CRISPR bacterial immunity, repurposed in 2012 by Doudna and Charpentier for genome editing; it uses sgRNA, an NGG PAM, and RuvC/HHN domains to make blunt double-strand breaks.
