This study identifies PD-L2's role on dendritic cells in restraining CD8+ T cell immunity in tumors, showing distinct functions from PD-L1 and suggesting therapeutic implications for PD-L2 blockade.

This paper benchmarks cell type deconvolution methods in spatial transcriptomics, finding that a simple marker gene scoring approach performs well, especially for rare cell types, and applies it to study anti-PD1 immunotherapy in a mouse model.

This study uses spatiotemporal single-cell analysis to track T cell clonal dynamics and phenotypic plasticity in GVHD, revealing links between TCR features, clonal expansion, and disease severity.

This study engineers bacteria to sense and grow in response to specific environmental cues, improving targeted colonization in the gastrointestinal tract.
