Overcoming immunosuppression in cancer: how ketogenic diets boost immune checkpoint blockade by Victoria E. Stefan, Daniela D. Weber, Roland Lang, Barbara Kofler

“…The studies reviewed herein show that altering the metabolic composition of the tumor microenvironment by a KD can boost the anti-tumor immune response and diminish even immunotherapy-resistant as well as immunologically "cold" tumors. However, the exact underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated, requiring further studies before KDs can be successfully implemented as an adjunct tumor therapy to improve survival rates for cancer patients.…”

Delay constraint minimum interruption routing algorithm for mobile satellite network by ZHANG Tao, LIU Zhong-kan, ZHANG Jun

“…By the analysis of the characteristics of mobile satellite network,such as a long delay and a topological time-varying,a novel satellite network delay constraint optimal path（SDCOP）algorithm,which could obtain a path to sat-isfy the delay constraint condition as well as the minimization of interruption during the service,was proposed.This algo-rithm exploits the predictive nature of connectivity changes of time-varying topological to decrease the influence in the QoS routing performance caused by the handover.Besides,it has a low computing complexity to adapt to the restricted computing capability of satellite equipments.Correlative simulation indicates that this novel algorithm is superior to other current algo-rithm in respect of computing complexity,service blocking probability and interrupting probability etc.…”
