Tumor immunogenicity is quantified with a novel method, and the resulting tumor immunogenicity score is an effective tumor-inherent biomarker for prediction of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Genetically fusing weakly homodimerizing proteins to the C-terminus of IgG antibodies to induce reversible catenation on a target surface greatly enhances antigen-binding avidity, offering a promising approach for a range of antibody applications.

Multiomic analyses provide new insights into the involvement of transposable elements in T-cell development in the thymus and central tolerance induction.
A fully synthetic library of humanized single domain antibodies yields in vitro high affinity antibodies usable in cell biology and translational projects.
Diagnosing the presence and clinical significance of prostate cancer can be achieved using AI-based analysis of peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cell subset profiles.

Binding of the translation initiation factor eIF3 to the messenger RNAs encoding the T cell receptor subunits alpha and beta is required to drive a short burst in their translation and promote a strong T cell response.
The microenvironment surrounding sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia responds differently to peripheral and central injuries, revealing that non-neuronal cells can be manipulated to promote axon regeneration after central injury.
