Oncolytic immunotherapy: multiple mechanisms of oncolytic peptides to confer anticancer immunity by Xing Huang, Tingbo Liang, Tianyu Tang, Gang Zhang

“…Oncolytic peptides are highly effective on remodeling the tumor microenvironment and potentiating the anticancer immunity through multiple mechanisms, particularly by inducing immunogenic cell death. Intriguingly, a recent study demonstrates that LTX-315, one of the most promising and extensively studied oncolytic peptides, inhibits PD-L1 expression via ATP11B, thus enhancing the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy by targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. …”

The influence of dispersing structure in multiple drawing on the plasticity of low‑carbon steel by V. P. Fetisov

“…During repeated drawing of low‑carbon steel, the initial grain size of ferrite and the intensity of hardening affect the accumulation of defects in the crystal structure and the overall decrease in the plastic properties of cold‑formed wire. Minimizing the cell sizes and reducing the intensity of deformation hardening for a more dispersed initial structure maintain an increased relative contraction of fine‑grained steel after large total compressions. …”
