Next, we’ll review a research paper that provides new insights on the different subtypes of invariant natural killer T cells, which appear to have diverse immunoregulatory properties and anti-tumor effects. We will finish up with a report indicating that rare variants in the telomerase gene, TERT, are underrecognized in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, providing a new insight into the germline genetic component of disease pathophysiology.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/v7MGyoJEM-ebFBYi5VpSwDRF3QY3zbinfCyyOAH1TGk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kY2Q4/YzJhZmMwODBjOWRi/YTNhN2Y1NWJkMzMw/NTBjZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
