Business & Health Tech: Avery Dennison named Danny Allouche president of its Materials Group, a move tied to innovation in labels and connected capabilities. Cancer Care: Research on an all-oral treatment approach for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia adds to the growing push for less intensive regimens.
