Article Synopsis
  • - Functional T regulatory cells (Tregs) hinder anticancer immunity and play a significant role in tumor growth by developing in response to the tumor's environment.
  • - Researchers identified a tumor-derived carbohydrate called A10 (Ca10), which enhances glycolysis and promotes Treg development through various mechanisms involving metabolic changes and inflammatory signals.
  • - The study shows that higher levels of Ca10 in the serum correlate with tumor size and Treg counts in mice, and similar elevated levels of a human counterpart (Ca10H) are found in cancer patients, especially those with metastatic disease, suggesting new avenues for cancer therapies.

After falling asleep, the brain needs to detach from waking activity and reorganize into a functionally distinct state. A functional MRI (fMRI) study has recently revealed that the transition to unconsciousness induced by propofol involves a global decline of brain activity followed by a transient reduction in cortico-subcortical coupling. We have analyzed the relationships between transitional brain activity and breathing changes as one example of a vital function that needs the brain to readapt.
