Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Predict Prognosis and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Efficacy in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Immunology, Volume 177, Issue 1, Page 109-118, January 2026.
This study demonstrates that the presence, high density and maturity of TLSs in LUSC patients are strongly associated with significantly improved overall survival. TLS+ was an independent positive prognostic factor and predicted better outcomes even for patients receiving immunotherapy.

Calibrating Freight Value‐to‐Tonnage Conversion Factors for Input–Output–Based Integrated Land Use Transport Models Using an Iterative Feedback Approach

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
A review of the existing literature reveals a lack of systematic methodologies for estimating and calibrating value‐to‐tonnage conversion factors (VTTCFs), which are essential for freight demand modeling within integrated land use transportation models based on input–output theories and techniques (IO‐based ILUTMs).
