TITLE: "Stochasticity in cancer immunotherapies: identifying the T cell subset that sparks tumor eradication" ABSTRACT: We use an ex vivo model of tumor eradication to dissect the fundamental variability of clinical outcomes in cancer immunotherapies. We demonstrate that there exists an inherent stochastic variability in immune responses, based on the low abundance of hyper-responsive naïve T cells (so-called Spark T cells) and feedback regulations […]

TITLE:  "Exploration of human genetic and phenotypic diversity through cell villages". ABSTRACT: Our species is characterized by an immense diversity in neurological and psychological traits. Common and rare genetic variants have been linked to trait differences and disease risk in human populations, though the underlying biology is poorly understood and difficult to study at large scales.
