These authors characterized genomic and neoantigen changes between 23 paired primary and recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors.
Within these tumors, they identified 6 genes which have predicted neoantigens in 4 or more patients.
Within HNSCC tumors examined in this Oncotarget research paper, there are neoantigens in shared genes by a subset of patients.
The presence of neoantigens in these shared genes may promote an anti-tumor immune response which controls tumor progression.
Head and neck cancer are a group of heterogeneous tumors with an estimated 644,000 new cases per year worldwide.
The infiltration of immune cells, including T cells, into tumors is associated with improved outcomes and longer survival in HNSCC.

Raleigh, NC (March 17, 2021) – Today, Wake Technical Community College joined nearly 40 institutions to launch the Taskforce on Higher Education and Opportunity. Wake Tech and Taskforce member partners are driven to act by the challenges caused by the pandemic, income inequality, the changing nature of work, and levels of unemployment among recent college graduates nearly double those seen in the 2008 recession. The impact of this crisis is falling unevenly across groups and disproportionately impacting students from disadvantaged communities, despite their educational background. The Taskforce will provide greater opportunity to students and communities, while re

The trend of consolidation continues to dominate the business scene in Bahrain s financial industry. This has been led by the completion of the public takeover offers of Bahrain Islamic Bank by the National Bank of Bahrain and further announcements relating to the acquisition of Ithmaar Bank by the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK), as well as an auction of the closely held Bahrain AXA insurance firm. BBK s acquisition would bear similarities to the Bahrain Islamic Bank acquisition, in that a conventional bank would acquire an Islamic bank.
There has also been a notable increase in reorganisations, with major international players often buying out local partners, including in the food and beverage manufacturing industry and within the engineering field.
