This study shows that blocking ICOS reduces immune suppression in breast tumors by altering Treg and CD8 T cell dynamics, enhancing anti-tumor immunity.

cellNexus enhances Human Cell Atlas data by adding quality control, metadata, normalization, and analysis layers to enable multi-study analyses and large-scale biological discovery.

The paper shows that the powerbend distribution unifies species abundance patterns across all life forms, rejecting pure neutrality and supporting a mix of random and deterministic ecological processes.

This study evaluates tree balance statistics for detecting growth rate heterogeneity in lineage tracing trees of cancer populations, finding J1 performs well while Sackin index is less effective.

The paper analyzes bacterial community data to show that plant-associated and free-living communities are dominated by oligotrophs, while animal-associated microbiota are dominated by copiotrophs, linking nutrient availability to community structure.
