Background Immunotherapy with T cells or bispecific T cell engagers is one promising approach to improve outcomes for patients with CD19-positive hematological malignancies. We had previously shown that T cells expressing bispecific T cell engagers that recognize CD19 and CD3 (CD19-ENG T cells) are activated in an antigen dependent manner, recruit resident T cells to tumors, and have anti-tumor...

We report compositional data for several foods that comprise the annual diet among Hadza foragers near Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania. Samples collected during daily gathering trips over three "eldwork seasons were prepared according to Hadza methods. All three types of honey show moisture and starch levels similar to United States' honeys but higher levels of protein, fat, and ash. Several sa...

The reasons why some plant species were selected as crops and others were abandoned during the Neolithic emergence of agriculture are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that the traits of Fertile Crescent crop progenitors were advantageous in the fertile, disturbed habitats surrounding early settlements and in cultivated fields. We screened functional traits related to competition and ...
