As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure: the flow-cytometry doublets that are routinely excluded from analysis are in fact a rich source of tumor-reactive T cells.

In severe asthma, type 2 cytokines (IL-5/IL-4) drive harmful eosinophil inflammation. A multi-omics study shows all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) counteracts this and maintains eosinophil homeostasis, offering novel insights and therapeutic hopes.
