DOI: 10.15252/embr.202051329
Abstract: Inadequate persistence of tumor‐infiltrating natural killer (NK) cells is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients. The solid tumor microenvironment is characterized by the presence of immunosuppressive factors, including prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), that limit NK… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.714938
Abstract: Plants absorb light energy required for photosynthesis, but excess light can damage plant cells. To protect themselves, plants have developed diverse signaling pathways which are activated under high-intensity light. Plant photoprotection mechanisms have been mainly… read more here.
