TL;DR: It is reported that metastatic melanomas release extracellular vesicles, mostly in the form of exosomes, that carry PD-L1 on their surface, suggesting a mechanism by which tumours could evade the immunesystem, and the potential application ofExosomal PD- L1 to monitor patient responses to checkpoint therapies.

TL;DR: An analysis of all 11,974 bipolar disorder cases and 51,792 controls confirmed genome-wide significant evidence of association for CACNA1C and identified a new intronic variant in ODZ4, and a pathway comprised of subunits of calcium channels enriched in bipolar disorder association intervals was identified.
