A TRANSCRIPTIONAL EVALUATION OF THE MELANOMA AND SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA TIL COMPARTMENT REVEALS AN UNEXPECTED SPECTRUM OF EXHAUSTED AND FUNCTIONAL T CELLS

A transcriptional evaluation of the melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma TIL compartment reveals an unexpected spectrum of exhausted and functional T cells

IntroductionSignificant heterogeneity exists within the tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cell population, and exhausted T cells harbor a subpopulation that may be replicating and may retain signatures of activation, with potential functional consequences in tumor progression.Dysfunctional immunity itsmajorlook.com in the tumor microenvironment is associate

Progressive white matter microstructure damage in male chronic heroin dependent individuals: a DTI and TBSS study.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the WM microstructure deficits in heroin dependent individuals (HDIs) with different length of heroin dependence, and to investigate whether these WM deficits can be related to the duration of heroin use and to decision-making deficits in HDIs.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Thirty-six HDIs [including eighteen sHDIs (dura
