Glycine decreases desensitization of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes and is required for NMDA responses.

abstract：:Established T cell dysfunction is a barrier to antitumor responses, and checkpoint blockade presumably reverses this. Many patients fail to respond to treatment and/or develop autoimmune adverse events. The underlying reason for T cell responsiveness remains elusive. Here, we show that susceptibility to checkpoint blo...
