CD8+ T cells are a major prognostic determinant in solid tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, understanding how the interplay between different immune cells impacts on clinical outcome is still in its infancy. Here, we describe that the interaction of tumor infiltrating neutrophils expressing high levels of CD15 with CD8+ T effector memory cells (T EM) correlates with tumor progression. Mechanistically, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (CXCL12/SDF-1) promotes the retention of neutrophils within tumors, increasing the crosstalk with CD8+ T cells. As a consequence of the contact-mediated interaction with neutrophils, CD8+ T cells are skewed to produce high levels of GZMK, which in turn decreases E-cadherin on the intestinal epithelium and favors tumor progression. Overall, our results highlight the emergence of GZMKhigh CD8+ TEM in non-metastatic CRC tumors as a hallmark driven by the interaction with neutrophils, which could implement current patient stratification and be targeted by novel therapeutics. The tumor immune microenvironment is an important prognostic determinant in colorectal cancer (CRC). Here the authors show that tumor infiltrating neutrophils expressing high levels of CD15 interact with CD8+ T effector memory skewing them to produce GZMK, associated with tumor progression in CRC patients.

Omni direction is the concept of existence of motion in every direction. Here, we have controlled the resulting vectors of individual wheels of a three wheel omni robot that are ultimately responsible for a stabilized motion of the robot in any direction. This phenomenon is termed as 'Holonomic Drive' and it provides higher efficiency and controllability to non-holonomic drives, when used with odometry and PID algorithms. Odometry basically is method of acquiring the real time positional data of a system in a world frame and using it for path planning. PID algorithm when applied on any system reduces the transient response and helps to attend steady state conditions with less settling time. Here, we have successfully designed and implemented the algorithms for path planning with the help of quadrature encoders and heading control of three wheel omni robot using PID, implemented on IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit).

For a practical quantum key distribution (QKD) system, parameter optimization, the choice of intensities and the probabilities of sending them, is a crucial step in gaining optimal performance, especially when one realistically considers a finite communication time. With the increasing interest in the field to implement QKD over free space on moving platforms, such as drones, handheld systems, and even satellites, one needs to perform parameter optimization with low latency and with very limited computing power. Moreover, with the advent of the internet of things, a highly attractive direction of QKD could be a quantum network with multiple devices and numerous connections, which provides a huge computational challenge for the controller that optimizes parameters for a large-scale network. Traditionally, such an optimization relies on brute-force search or local search algorithms, which are computationally intensive, and will be slow on low-power platforms (which increases latency in the system) or infeasible for even moderately large networks. In this work we present a method that uses a neural network to directly predict the optimal parameters for QKD systems. We test our machine learning algorithm on hardware devices including a Raspberry Pi 3 single-board computer (similar devices are commonly used on drones) and a mobile phone, both of which have a power consumption of less than 5 W, and we find a speedup of up to two to four orders of magnitude when compared to standard local search algorithms. The predicted parameters are highly accurate and can preserve, e.g., over 95%–99% of the optimal secure key rate for a given protocol. Moreover, our approach is highly general and can be applied effectively to various kinds of common QKD protocols.
