B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is an immune checkpoint molecule that mediates the escape of tumor cells from immunosurveillance. Consequently, BTLA and its ligand herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) are potentially immunotherapeutic targets. However, the potential effects of BTLA on tumor cells remain incompletely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Changing surface wettability and nanostructure size affects condensation behavior, with distinct features observed during evaporation and condensation on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces.
- Simulations showed that on hydrophilic surfaces, larger groove dimensions resulted in more liquid argon, faster temperature response, and slower potential energy decline, all related to better condensation rates.
- On hydrophobic surfaces, groove height significantly affected condensation behavior, with larger grooves preventing vapor condensation and decreasing potential energy, contrasting the results seen on hydrophilic surfaces.
