The tumor microenvironment is immunosuppressive. Here we preview two recent studies from Ma et al. (2021) in Cell Metabolism and Xu et al. (2021) in Immunity that describe a key role of T cell-expressed CD36 in enhancing lipid uptake and mediating lipid peroxidation that ultimately leads to CD8+ T cell dysfunction, ferroptosis, and reduced anti-tumor function.

Relaxation moduli of glass-forming systems: temperature effects and fluctuations.

Equilibrium and dynamical properties of a two-dimensional polydisperse colloidal model system are characterized by means of molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. We employed several methods to prepare quasi-equilibrated systems: in particular, by slow cooling and tempering with MD (method SC-MD), and by tempering with MC dynamics involving swaps of particle diameters (methods Sw-MD, Sw-MC). It is revealed that the Sw-methods are much more efficient for equilibration below the glass transition temperature T leading to denser and more rigid systems which show much slower self-diffusion and shear-stress relaxation than their counterparts prepared with the SC-MD method.
