A group of scientists from Harvard University have observed and reconstructed the human brain at the resolution of the electron microscope, with all its cells, following all the connections between its neurons around a cubic millimeter of a tissue sample. They took 10 years and the data occupies 1.4 petabytes (1,400 terabytes). However, they are already planning a bigger project. Read More
HERV-H LTR-associating protein 2 (HHLA2) is known to play immunosuppressive roles by interacting with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 3DL3 (KIR3DL3). The expression of HHLA2 in cancer is associated with poor patient outcomes, making it a promising therapeutic target for immunotherapy. Nextpoint Therapeutics Inc. has presented data on their monoclonal antibodies NPX-267 and NPX-887, which target KIR3DL3 and HHLA2, respectively. Read More
