T cell exhaustion compromises anti-tumor immunity, and a sustained elevation of coinhibitory receptors is a hallmark of T cell exhaustion in solid tumors. Similarly, upregulation of co-inhibitory receptors has been reported in T cells in hematological cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia...

Arsenic is a highly toxic and ubiquitous element. To this day, millions of people are exposed to arsenic contamination, which poses global health concerns. Phytoextraction performed with willows, a form of phytoremediation, is a promising means of cleaning up soils containing hazardous levels of...
