Please Repost: 3 out of 4 adults by age 30 have HPV. In the past 4 years HPV related tongue, throat & tonsil cancer has surpassed cervical cancer & become an epidemic among men between ages 40-60. Let's protect our sons and daughter by leaning about the HPV vaccine. @DrZSB @drsforamerica @DrMarcSiegel @InfoASHA @foxandfriends @ImmunizeOrg @TheJoeySwoll @EricTopol @USRepKCastor @HPVProjectPERCH @JesseBWatters @rfkJrHealth24 @SU2C

What's the difference between Trm and exhausted CD8 T cells? Simone Park's new work dissects this important question. These cell types are often confused, but are ontologically and mechanistically distinct with implications for immunotherapy responses. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
