While individual predictors connectedness have been well-described, little known about school-level factors which may influence connectedness. A school's ecology, or its structural, functional, built aspects, coupled with interpersonal interactions, also help enhance connectedness.This study aims identify ecological characteristics predict enhanced in secondary school.Data from 5,159 Grade 8...

In tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), highest on CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) also highly expressed CD8+ compared non-Tregs (both P = .008). LAG3high TILs were...
