Researchers report the development of a methodology to detect small amounts of potential tumor therapeutic targets, specificacally enzymes called kinases, that are present in biopsy samples. Therapies that directly inhibit cancer-promoting activities of some of these kinases have proven to be effective for patients in which individual driving kinases can be diagnosed.

Researchers found that CD4+ T cells can be classified into 18 categories and 12 distinct gene programs, and that characteristic changes in CD4+ T cell profiles are associated with autoimmune disease, sex, and aging. Analysis of these distinctive immune cell profiles could be used to predict autoimmune disease in the future, paving the way for precision medicine.
