Differential impact of TIM-3 ligands on NK cell function by Xin Zhang, Lazar Vujanovic, Riyue Bao, Robert L Ferris, Tullia C Bruno, Aditi Kulkarni, Hridesh Banerjee, Housaiyin Li, Juncheng Wang, Lawrence P Kane, Pragati Upadhyay, Jennifer L Anderson, Onyedikachi Victor Onyekachi, Lidia M R B Arantes

“…An effective TIM-3-targeting therapy should account for multiple biological factors, including the disease setting, the specific cell types involved and their varying sensitivities to the four putative TIM-3 ligands (galectin-9, phosphatidylserine, high mobility group protein B1 and carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1), each of which engages a unique binding site on the receptor’s variable immunoglobulin domain. The primary objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence and function of TIM-3+ natural killer (NK) cells in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), determine whether the four TIM-3 ligands differentially affect TIM-3+ NK cell functions, identify the most immunosuppressive ligand, and evaluate whether targeting ligand-mediated TIM-3 signaling enhances NK cell effector functions.Methods Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry were used to study the prevalence, phenotypes and function of TIM-3+ NK cells in HNSCC patient tumors and blood. …”

Impact assessment of snow thickness, sea ice density and water density in CryoSat-2-derived sea ice thickness by I. Sievers, H. Skourup, T. A. S. Rasmussen

“…</p> <p>For the water density, we find the average and maximum sea ice thickness difference to be small in comparison to the sea ice thickness differences introduced by the snow thickness and sea ice density, but this is not negligible, as currently stated in most studies. We find that the origin of the assumption that water density is negligible in the freeboard to sea ice thickness conversion originates from a study investigating the seasonal Arctic sea ice density variability, not taking into account the spacial variability. …”
