DOI: 10.1111/eva.13041
Abstract: There is mounting evidence that the widespread phenotypic changes in response to urbanization may reflect adaptations caused by rapid evolutionary processes driven by urban‐related stressors. Compared to increased habitat fragmentation and pollution, adaptations towards another… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40425-018-0355-5
Abstract: Anti-cancer immunotherapy is encountering its own checkpoint. Responses are dramatic and long lasting but occur in a subset of tumors and are largely dependent upon the pre-existing immune contexture of individual cancers. Available data suggest… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10071044
Abstract: Purpose: We describe a diagnostic procedure suitable for scheduling (re-)vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) according to individual state of humoral immunization. Methods: To clarify the relation between quantitative antibody measurements… read more here.
