Social isolation promotes tumor immune evasion via β2-adrenergic receptor.
Brain Behav Immun
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- - Social isolation can increase tumor growth and create changes in the tumor's immune environment that suppress immune responses.
- - The study found that social isolation activates the sympathetic nervous system, which negatively affects CD8 T cell responses against tumors by engaging a specific receptor (β2-AR).
- - Blocking β2-AR signaling can boost CD8 T cell anti-tumor activity and enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments (like anti-PD-1 immunotherapy) in patients who are socially isolated.
Two cage-based boron imidazolate helices were prepared in achiral reaction systems by mixing a C3 symmetric rigid ligand, KBH(bim)3, and a long flexible dicarboxylic acid ligand. The presence of an appropriate chiral inducer can control the helical orientation of bulk samples, which further acts on the enantioselective separation of racemic 1-phenylethanol.

Specifically, F-substituted polymers often exhibit planar conformations, leading to favorable packing, and electronic coupling. However, the effects of fluorine substituents on the charge generation and recombination characteristics that determine the overall efficiency of BHJ active layers remain critically important issues to examine.
