Intratumoral FoxP3⁺Helios⁺ Regulatory T Cells Upregulating Immunosuppressive Molecules Are Expanded in Human Colorectal Cancer by Azharuddin Sajid Syed Khaja (19720114)

“…In this preliminary study, we report that the majority of CD3⁺ T cells in the TME are CD4⁺ T cells with high co-expression of programmed death 1 (PD-1)/cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and PD-1/CD39 molecules. Levels of CD4⁺FoxP3⁺Helios⁺ Tregs were significantly increased in the TME. …”

Association of Differing Qatari Genotypes with Vitamin D Metabolites by Youssra Dakroury (9991407)

“…<em>Conclusion. </em>Whilst 25(OH)D levels did not differ between genotype groups, 1,25(OH)2D and 24,25(OH)2D were lower in the admixed group, suggesting that there are genetic differences in vitamin D metabolism that may be of importance in a population that may allow a more targeted approach to vitamin D replacement. …”
