Androgen receptor-mediated CD8+ T cell stemness programs drive sex differences in antitumor immunity.

The incidence and mortality rates of many non-reproductive human cancers are generally higher in males than in females. However, the immunological mechanism underlying sexual differences in cancers remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that sex-related differences in tumor burden depended on adaptive immunity. Male CD8+ T cells exhibited impaired effector and stem cell-like properties compared with female CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, androgen receptor inhibited the activity and stemness of male tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells by regulating epigenetic and transcriptional differentiation programs. Castration combined with anti-PD-L1 treatment synergistically restricted tumor growth in male mice. In humans, fewer male CD8+ T cells maintained a stem cell-like memory state compared with female counterparts. Moreover, AR expression correlated with tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell exhaustion in cancer patients. Our findings reveal sex-biased CD8+ T cell stemness programs in cancer progression and in the responses to cancer immunotherapy, providing insights into the development of sex-based immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

Approaching the quantum limit in two-dimensional semiconductor contacts.

The development of next-generation electronics requires scaling of channel material thickness down to the two-dimensional limit while maintaining ultralow contact resistance1,2. Transition-metal dichalcogenides can sustain transistor scaling to the end of roadmap, but despite a myriad of efforts, the device performance remains contact-limited3-12. In particular, the contact resistance has not surpassed that of covalently bonded metal-semiconductor junctions owing to the intrinsic van der Waals gap, and the best contact technologies are facing stability issues3,7. Here we push the electrical contact of monolayer molybdenum disulfide close to the quantum limit by hybridization of energy bands with semi-metallic antimony ([Formula: see text]) through strong van der Waals interactions. The contacts exhibit a low contact resistance of 42 ohm micrometres and excellent stability at 125 degrees Celsius. Owing to improved contacts, short-channel molybdenum disulfide transistors show current saturation under one-volt drain bias with an on-state current of 1.23 milliamperes per micrometre, an on/off ratio over 108 and an intrinsic delay of 74 femtoseconds. These performances outperformed equivalent silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies and satisfied the 2028 roadmap target. We further fabricate large-area device arrays and demonstrate low variability in contact resistance, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, on/off ratio, on-state current and transconductance13. The excellent electrical performance, stability and variability make antimony ([Formula: see text]) a promising contact technology for transition-metal-dichalcogenide-based electronics beyond silicon.

Uniform nucleation and epitaxy of bilayer molybdenum disulfide on sapphire.

Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are of interest for beyond-silicon electronics1,2. It has been suggested that bilayer TMDs, which combine good electrostatic control, smaller bandgap and higher mobility than monolayers, could potentially provide improvements in the energy-delay product of transistors3-5. However, despite advances in the growth of monolayer TMDs6-14, the controlled epitaxial growth of multilayers remains a challenge15. Here we report the uniform nucleation (>99%) of bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on c-plane sapphire. In particular, we engineer the atomic terrace height on c-plane sapphire to enable an edge-nucleation mechanism and the coalescence of MoS2 domains into continuous, centimetre-scale films. Fabricated field-effect transistor (FET) devices based on bilayer MoS2 channels show substantial improvements in mobility (up to 122.6 cm2 V-1 s-1) and variation compared with FETs based on monolayer films. Furthermore, short-channel FETs exhibit an on-state current of 1.27 mA µm-1, which exceeds the 2028 roadmap target for high-performance FETs16.

Large Field-like Spin-Orbit Torque and Enhanced Magnetization Switching Efficiency Utilizing Amorphous Mo.

Spin-orbit torque magnetic random access memory (SOT-MRAM) has great promise in high write speed and low power consumption. Mo can play a vital role in constructing a CoFeB/MgO-based MRAM cell because of its ability to enhance the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), thermal tolerance, and tunneling magnetoresistance. However, Mo is often considered as a less favorable candidate among SOT materials because of its weak spin-orbit coupling. In this study, we experimentally investigate the SOT efficiencies in Mo/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures over a wide range of Mo thicknesses and temperature. Decent damping-like SOT efficiency |ξDL| = 0.015 ± 0.001 and field-like SOT efficiency |ξFL| = 0.050 ± 0.001 are found in amorphous Mo. The ξFL/ξDL ratio is greater than 3. Furthermore, efficient current-induced magnetization switching is demonstrated with the critical current density comparable with heavy metal Ir and W. Our work reveals new understanding and possibilities for Mo as both an SOT source component and PMA buffer layer in the implementation of SOT-MRAMs.

Genomic insights into Penicillium chrysogenum adaptation to subseafloor sedimentary environments.

BACKGROUND: Penicillium chrysogenum is a filamentous fungal species with diverse habitats, yet little is known about its genetics in adapting to extreme subseafloor sedimental environments. RESULTS: Here, we report the discovery of P. chrysogenum strain 28R-6-F01, isolated from deep coal-bearing sediments 2306 m beneath the seafloor. This strain possesses exceptional characteristics, including the ability to thrive in extreme conditions such as high temperature (45 °C), high pressure (35 Mpa), and anaerobic environments, and exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, producing the antibiotic penicillin at a concentration of 358 µg/mL. Genome sequencing and assembly revealed a genome size of 33.19 Mb with a GC content of 48.84%, containing 6959 coding genes. Comparative analysis with eight terrestrial strains identified 88 unique genes primarily associated with penicillin and aflatoxins biosynthesis, carbohydrate degradation, viral resistance, and three secondary metabolism gene clusters. Furthermore, significant expansions in gene families related to DNA repair were observed, likely linked to the strain's adaptation to its environmental niche. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide insights into the genomic and biological characteristics of P. chrysogenum adaptation to extreme anaerobic subseafloor sedimentary environments, such as high temperature and pressure.

Clinicopathological features and prognostic analysis of HER2 low and fibrotic focus in HER2-negative breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of HER2 low, fibrotic focus (FF), and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 293 patients with HER2-negative, stage I-II, invasive breast cancer of non-specific types. The HER2-negative cases were classified into HER2 low and HER2 0. Digital analysis of hematoxylin-eosin stained whole slide images was used to evaluate the FF expression. TILs were also evaluated using the Whole Slide Image. Furthermore, the association between HER2 low, FF, and TILs as well as their prognostic significance were analyzed. RESULTS: The study cohort included 178 cases (60.8%) with HER2 low and 115 cases (39.2%) with HER2 0. Older age, lower Nottingham histological grade (NHG), estrogen receptor (ER) positivity, progesterone receptor (PR) positivity, and hormone receptor (HR) positivity were all associated with HER2 low. FF was correlated with older age, intermediate and low NHG, vascular invasion, HR positivity, HER2 low status, high Ki67 expression, and low TILs. Univariate survival analysis showed that FF was significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS). Stratified analysis indicated that in the HR-negative and HR-positive groups, HER2 status and TILs did not affect PFS. DFS was longer in patients without FF compared to those with FF in the HR-positive (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.313) and HER2 low (HR = 0.272) groups. DFS was also significantly longer in patients without FF compared to those with FF in the HR-negative (HR = 0.069) and HER2 0 groups (HR = 0.129). CONCLUSION: The results indicated that the HER2 low status and the TILs expression did not impact prognosis. However, patients with FF exhibited distinct biological characteristics and prognostic significance, particularly in the HR-negative and HER2 0 groups. This provides a rationale for accurate diagnosis and treatment of HER2-negative breast cancer.

Tunneling Proton Grotthuss Transfer Channels by Hydrophilic-Zincophobic Heterointerface Shielding for High-Performance Zn-MnO2 Batteries.

Hollandite-type manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) is recognized as a promising cathode material upon high-performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) owing to the high theoretical capacities, high working potentials, unique Zn2+/H+ co-insertion chemistry, and environmental friendliness. However, its practical applications limited by Zn2+ accommodation, where the strong coulombic interaction and sluggish kinetics cause significant lattice deformation, fast capacity degradation, insufficient rate capability, and undesired interface degradation. It remains challenging to accurately modulate H+ intercalation while suppressing Zn2+ insertion for better lattice stability and electrochemical kinetics. Herein, proton Grotthuss transfer channels are first tunneled by shielding MnO2 with hydrophilic-zincophobic heterointerface, fulfilling the H+-dominating diffusion with the state-of-the-art ZIBs performance. Local atomic structure and theoretical simulation confirm that surface-engineered α-MnO2 affords to the synergy of Mn electron t2g-eg activation, oxygen vacancy enrichment, selective H+ Grotthuss transfer, and accelerated desolvation kinetics. Consequently, fortified α-MnO2 achieves prominent low current density cycle stability (≈100% capacity retention at 1 C after 400 cycles), remarkable long-lifespan cycling performance (98% capacity retention at 20 C after 12 000 cycles), and ultrafast rate performance (up to 30 C). The study exemplifies a new approach of heterointerface engineering for regulation of H+-dominating Grotthuss transfer and lattice stabilization in α-MnO2 toward reliable ZIBs.

Toward the Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries with Improved Overall Performance: Electrolyte with Surface Adsorptive Additive.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) with slightly acidic electrolytes process advantages such as high safety, competitive cost, and satisfactory electrochemical performance. However, the failure behaviors of both electrodes, regarding zinc dendrite growth, interfacial parasitic reactions, and the collapse of cathode materials hinder the practical application of ZIBs. To alleviate the issues of both anode and cathode at the same time, D-xylose (DX) is introduced to the electrolyte as a multifunctional additive. As a result, the side reaction of the anode is suppressed and the metallic deposition behavior is regulated due to the hydrogen bonding network reconstruction and preferential surface adsorption of DX; for the MnO2 cathode, the DX adsorption can help the interfacial charge transfer and increase the reactive sites. Benefiting from these merits, DX-optimized Zn//Zn battery displays reveal a prolonged lifespan of 6912 h and an ultra-high cumulative capacity of 17.28 Ah cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2. With the function of water reactivity suppression, the Coulombic efficiency reaches 99.91% at 2 mA cm-2; the Zn||MnO2 full batteries exhibit excellent cyclability over 2000 cycles at 5C with an increased capacity of 118.9 mAh g-1, indicating the dual functions to both of the electrodes for AZIBs.

Identifying and characterizing drug sensitivity-related lncRNA-TF-gene regulatory triplets.

Recently, many studies have shown that lncRNA can mediate the regulation of TF-gene in drug sensitivity. However, there is still a lack of systematic identification of lncRNA-TF-gene regulatory triplets for drug sensitivity. In this study, we propose a novel analytic approach to systematically identify the lncRNA-TF-gene regulatory triplets related to the drug sensitivity by integrating transcriptome data and drug sensitivity data. Totally, 1570 drug sensitivity-related lncRNA-TF-gene triplets were identified, and 16 307 relationships were formed between drugs and triplets. Then, a comprehensive characterization was performed. Drug sensitivity-related triplets affect a variety of biological functions including drug response-related pathways. Phenotypic similarity analysis showed that the drugs with many shared triplets had high similarity in their two-dimensional structures and indications. In addition, Network analysis revealed the diverse regulation mechanism of lncRNAs in different drugs. Also, survival analysis indicated that lncRNA-TF-gene triplets related to the drug sensitivity could be candidate prognostic biomarkers for clinical applications. Next, using the random walk algorithm, the results of which we screen therapeutic drugs for patients across three cancer types showed high accuracy in the drug-cell line heterogeneity network based on the identified triplets. Besides, we developed a user-friendly web interface-DrugSETs (http://bio-bigdata.hrbmu.edu.cn/DrugSETs/) available to explore 1570 lncRNA-TF-gene triplets relevant with 282 drugs. It can also submit a patient's expression profile to predict therapeutic drugs conveniently. In summary, our research may promote the study of lncRNAs in the drug resistance mechanism and improve the effectiveness of treatment.

twas_sim, a Python-based tool for simulation and power analysis of transcriptome-wide association analysis.

SUMMARY: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous genetic variants associated with complex disease risk; however, most of these associations are non-coding, complicating identifying their proximal target gene. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) have been proposed to mitigate this gap by integrating expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data with GWAS data. Numerous methodological advancements have been made for TWAS, yet each approach requires ad hoc simulations to demonstrate feasibility. Here, we present twas_sim, a computationally scalable and easily extendable tool for simplified performance evaluation and power analysis for TWAS methods. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Software and documentation are available at https://github.com/mancusolab/twas_sim.

Dynamic changes in the real-time glomerular filtration rate and kidney injury markers in different acute kidney injury models.

In this study, we dynamically monitored the glomerular filtration rate and other assessment of renal function and markers of injury in various mice models of acute kidney injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were utilized to establish acute kidney injury models of sepsis, ischemia reperfusion, cisplatin, folic acid, aristolochic acid and antibiotic. In addition to the real time glomerular filtration rate, renal LCN-2 and HAVCR-1 mRNA expression levels, and serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and cystatin c levels were also used to evaluate renal function. In addition, the protein levels of LCN-2 and HAVCR-1 in renal, serum and urine were measured. Our results demonstrated that the changes in biomarkers always lagged the real time glomerular filtration rate during the progression and recovery of renal injury. Cystatin-c can reflect renal injury earlier than other markers, but it remains higher in the recovery stage. Perhaps the glomerular filtration rate does not reflect the greater injury caused by vancomycin plus piperacillin.

Scalable integration of hybrid high-κ dielectric materials on two-dimensional semiconductors.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising channel materials for next-generation field-effect transistors (FETs). However, it remains challenging to integrate ultrathin and uniform high-κ dielectrics on 2D semiconductors to fabricate FETs with large gate capacitance. We report a versatile two-step approach to integrating high-quality dielectric film with sub-1 nm equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) on 2D semiconductors. Inorganic molecular crystal Sb2O3 is homogeneously deposited on 2D semiconductors as a buffer layer, which forms a high-quality oxide-to-semiconductor interface and offers a highly hydrophilic surface, enabling the integration of high-κ dielectrics via atomic layer deposition. Using this approach, we can fabricate monolayer molybdenum disulfide-based FETs with the thinnest EOT (0.67 nm). The transistors exhibit an on/off ratio of over 106 using an ultra-low operating voltage of 0.4 V, achieving unprecedently high gating efficiency. Our results may pave the way for the application of 2D materials in low-power ultrascaling electronics.

Peritoneal dialysis promotes microbial-driven biosynthesis pathways of sesquiterpenes and triterpenes compounds in end-stage renal disease patients.

The concept of the gut-kidney axis is gaining significant attention due to the close relationship between gut microbiota and kidney disease. Peritoneal dialysis is recognized as a crucial renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The alterations in gut microbiota and related mechanisms after receiving this dialysis method are not fully understood. This study conducted shotgun metagenomic sequencing on fecal samples from 11 end-stage renal disease patients who did not receive dialysis (ESRD_N) and 7 patients who received peritoneal dialysis (ESRD_P). After quality control and correlation analysis of the data, our study is aimed at exploring the impact of peritoneal dialysis on the gut microbiota and health of ESRD patients. Our research findings indicate that the complexity and aggregation characteristics of gut microbiota interactions increase in ESRD_P. In addition, the gut microbiota drives the biosynthesis pathways of sesquiterpenes and triterpenes in ESRD_P patients, which may contribute to blood purification and improve circulation. Therefore, our research will lay the foundation for the prevention and treatment of ESRD.

Artificial intelligence enhances whole-slide interpretation of PD-L1 CPS in triple-negative breast cancer: A multi-institutional ring study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evaluation of the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) is vital to predict the efficacy of the immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but pathologists show substantial variability in the consistency and accuracy of the interpretation. It is of great importance to establish an objective and effective method which is highly repeatable. METHODS: We proposed a model in a deep learning-based framework, which at the patch level incorporated cell analysis and tissue region analysis, followed by the whole-slide level fusion of patch results. Three rounds of ring studies (RSs) were conducted. Twenty-one pathologists of different levels from four institutions evaluated the PD-L1 CPS in TNBC specimens as continuous scores by visual assessment and our artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted method. RESULTS: In the visual assessment, the interpretation results of PD-L1 (Dako 22C3) CPS by different levels of pathologists have significant differences and showed weak consistency. Using AI-assisted interpretation, there were no significant differences between all pathologists (P = 0.43), and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value was increased from 0.618 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.524-0.719] to 0.931 (95% CI = 0.902-0.955). The accuracy of interpretation result is further improved to 0.919 (95% CI = 0.886-0.947). Acceptance of AI results by junior pathologists was the highest among all levels, and 80% of the AI results were accepted overall. CONCLUSION: With the help of the AI-assisted diagnostic method, different levels of pathologists achieved excellent consistency and repeatability in the interpretation of PD-L1 (Dako 22C3) CPS. Our AI-assisted diagnostic approach was proved to strengthen the consistency and repeatability in clinical practice.

Neuroplasticity of Speech-in-Noise Processing in Older Adults Assessed by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a non-invasive optical neuroimaging technique that is portable and acoustically silent, has become a promising tool for evaluating auditory brain functions in hearing-vulnerable individuals. This study, for the first time, used fNIRS to evaluate neuroplasticity of speech-in-noise processing in older adults. Ten older adults, most of whom had moderate-to-mild hearing loss, participated in a 4-week speech-in-noise training. Their speech-in-noise performances and fNIRS brain responses to speech (auditory sentences in noise), non-speech (spectrally-rotated speech in noise) and visual (flashing chequerboards) stimuli were evaluated pre- (T0) and post-training (immediately after training, T1; and after a 4-week retention, T2). Behaviourally, speech-in-noise performances were improved after retention (T2 vs. T0) but not immediately after training (T1 vs. T0). Neurally, we intriguingly found brain responses to speech vs. non-speech decreased significantly in the left auditory cortex after retention (T2 vs. T0 and T2 vs. T1) for which we interpret as suppressed processing of background noise during speech listening alongside the significant behavioural improvements. Meanwhile, functional connectivity within and between multiple regions of temporal, parietal and frontal lobes was significantly enhanced in the speech condition after retention (T2 vs. T0). We also found neural changes before the emergence of significant behavioural improvements. Compared to pre-training, responses to speech vs. non-speech in the left frontal/prefrontal cortex were decreased significantly both immediately after training (T1 vs. T0) and retention (T2 vs. T0), reflecting possible alleviation of listening efforts. Finally, connectivity was significantly decreased between auditory and higher-level non-auditory (parietal and frontal) cortices in response to visual stimuli immediately after training (T1 vs. T0), indicating decreased cross-modal takeover of speech-related regions during visual processing. The results thus showed that neuroplasticity can be observed not only at the same time with, but also before, behavioural changes in speech-in-noise perception. To our knowledge, this is the first fNIRS study to evaluate speech-based auditory neuroplasticity in older adults. It thus provides important implications for current research by illustrating the promises of detecting neuroplasticity using fNIRS in hearing-vulnerable individuals.

The effect of drugs and guns on life expectancy in the United States, 2000-2020.

OBJECTIVES: This study estimated the effect of changing trends in drug- and firearm-related mortality on life expectancy in the U.S. over the last two decades. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study. METHODS: We used national vital registration data from CDC WONDER, stratified by sex, to estimate the mortality rate due to accidental and intentional poisoning (ICD Codes X40-X49, X60-X69, Y10-Y19 and X85), and firearm deaths (ICD codes W32-W34, X72-X74, X93-X95, Y22-Y24) for the period 2000-2020. We applied standard life table methods to all cause mortality rates with and without these mortality causes to estimate the life expectancy at each age over this period. RESULTS: In 2020, mortality due to drugs and firearms combined reduced male life expectancy by1.67 years compared to 0.67 years in 2000, and without the effect of these two causes of death, male life expectancy in 2019 would have been 78.02 years. For women, drugs and firearm-related mortality reduced life expectancy by 0.20 years in 2000 and 0.63 years in 2020, and female life expectancy would have been 82.25 years in 2019 without the retarding effect of these two preventable causes. CONCLUSIONS: Drug- and firearm-related deaths have increased so rapidly, especially among younger populations, that life expectancy at birth is significantly reduced by these causes of death. Without urgent action to tackle these preventable causes of death, US life expectancy will continue to stagnate and may even decline, even without the effect of COVID-19.

Substrate engineering for wafer-scale two-dimensional material growth: strategies, mechanisms, and perspectives.

The fabrication of wafer-scale two-dimensional (2D) materials is a prerequisite and important step for their industrial applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most promising approach to produce high-quality films in a scalable way. Recent breakthroughs in the epitaxy of wafer-scale single-crystalline graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition-metal dichalcogenides highlight the pivotal roles of substrate engineering by lattice orientation, surface steps, and energy considerations. This review focuses on the existing strategies and underlying mechanisms, and discusses future directions in epitaxial substrate engineering to deliver wafer-scale 2D materials for integrated electronics and photonics.

Van der Waals Nonlinear Photodetector with Quadratic Photoresponse.

With unique electronic and optical attributes and dangling-bond-free surface, two-dimensional (2D) materials have broadened the functionalities of photodetectors. Here, we report a quadratically nonlinear photodetector (QNPD) composed of a van der Waals (vdW) stacked GaSe/InSe heterostructure. Compared with the reported 2D material-based photodetectors, the extra second-harmonic generation (SHG) process in GaSe/InSe leads to the quadratically nonlinear function between photocurrent and optical intensity, extending the photodetection wavelength from 900 to 1750 nm. The QNPD is highly sensitive to the variation of optical intensity with improved spatial resolution. With the light-light interaction in SHG converted into electrical signal directly, we also demonstrate the QNPD as an autocorrelator for measuring ultrafast pulse widths and an optoelectronic mixer of two modulated pulses for signal processings. The simultaneous involvement of light-light interaction and photoelectric conversion in the vdW stacked QNPD promises its potential to simplify the optoelectronic systems.

Enrichment for clinical trials of early AD: Combining genetic risk factors and plasma p-tau as screening instruments.

INTRODUCTION: Identifying low-cost, minimally-invasive screening instruments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) trial enrichment will improve the efficiency of AD trials. METHODS: A total of 685 cognitively normal (CN) individuals and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were grouped according to cutoffs of genetic risk factor (G) polygenic hazard score (PHS) and tau pathology (T) plasma phosphorylated tau-181 (p-tau181) into four groups: G+T+, G-T-, G+T-, and G-T+. We assessed the associations between group level and longitudinal cognitive decline and AD conversion. Power analyses compared the estimated sample size required to detect differences in cognitive decline. RESULTS: The G+T+ group was associated with faster cognitive decline and higher AD risk. Clinical trials enrolling G+T+ participants would benefit from significantly reduced sample sizes compared with similar trials using only single makers as an inclusion criterion. DISCUSSION: The combination of two low-cost, minimally-invasive measures-genetics and plasma biomarkers-would be a promising screening procedure for clinical trial enrollment. HIGHLIGHTS: Participants with unimpaired or mildly impaired cognition were grouped based on cutoffs on genetic risk factors (G: polygenic hazardous score [PHS]) and Alzheimer's pathology (T: baseline plasma phosphorylated tau-181 [p-tau181]). Participants with high PHSs and plasma p-tau181 levels (G+T+) were at risk of faster cognitive decline and AD progression. The combination of PHS and plasma p-tau181 could enhance clinical trial enrichment more effectively than using single biomarkers.
