Foxp3Treg cells display phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, which express high levels of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of colorectal and lung cancer. High abundance of Tim-3Foxp3Treg (TFT) cells are associated with poor prognosis in these patients. However, the expression patterns and roles of TFT cells in TME of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remain to be established. Double immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analyses were employed to investigate TFT cell enrichment in paraffin-embedded fresh tumor tissues from patients with DLBCL. Spearman's or Pearson's correlation and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were further applied to decide the prognostic value of TFT cell levels in DLBCL. The IL-10-secreting function of TFT cells in vitro was examined via flow cytometry and ELISA. Our results showed for the first time that TFT cells are highly enriched in TME of DLBCL patients and associated with predictions of poor prognoses. TFT cell-induced secretion of IL-10 in the TME was suppressed by an anti-Tim-3 antibody in vitro. In conclusion, high abundance of TFT cells in the TME is predictive of poor outcomes of DLBCL. TFT cells promote DLBCL development partly by secreting IL-10 in the TME. Anti-Tim-3 antibodies (that block IL-10 secretion) may present an effective therapeutic agent for DLBCL.

Sensitivity and specificity of a seed amplification assay for diagnosis of multiple system atrophy: a multicentre cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- A novel α-synuclein seed amplification assay (synSAA) was developed to differentiate misfolded α-synuclein seeds linked to multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD).
- The study analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain samples from various clinical cohorts across multiple medical centers to assess the assay's diagnostic accuracy.
- Findings showed that brain samples with Lewy bodies were positive for synSAA, indicating potential for the assay in distinguishing between MSA and PD in diagnostic settings.

We synthesized two highly volatile and low-cost solid additives, PT and TFT. The inclusion of PT and TFT effectively influences the aggregation behavior of D18: L8-BO during the film-forming process. Consequently, PT and TFT-treated D18: L8-BO-based OSCs achieved power conversion efficiencies of 18.

Computer haptics (CH) is about integration of tactile sensation and rendering in Metaverse. However, unlike computer vision (CV) where both hardware infrastructure and software programs are well developed, a generic tactile data capturing device that serves the same role as what a camera does for CV, is missing. Bioinspired by electrophysiological processes in human tactile somatosensory nervous system, here we propose a tactile scanner along with a neuromorphically-engineered system, in which a closed-loop tactile acquisition and rendering (re-creation) are preliminarily achieved.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal intensities and mitochondrial function in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, assessed through histological and genetic profiling of tendon tissue.
Methods: This study, conducted between April 2022 and January 2023, included 20 patients undergoing rotator cuff repair for atraumatic/degenerative tears. Rotator cuff tendon edge samples were obtained during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
