Houtaomuga site is located at the embankment of Lake Xinhuangpao in Da’an County of northeast China. Excavations from 2011 to 2015 revealed an occupation ranging from the early Neolithic period to late Liao Dynasty. This dissertation will focus on an unusual feature from the late Neolithic period...

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...
