    Abstract: A method of treating a malignant disease involving T cell exhaustion in a subject, with the proviso that said malignant disease is not a B cell malignancy, is disclosed. The method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84, thereby treating the malignant disease involving the T cell exhaustion. Also disclosed is a method of treating an autoimmune or inflammatory disease in a subject, the method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84. A method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of SLAMF1, with the proviso that said agent is not an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84, is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods, devices and apparatus for measuring expansion/contraction properties of a material are described. According to an embodiment a method comprises: providing a device, said device comprising a sample comprising said material, said sample comprising a first surface and a second surface, a first substrate and a second substrate connected to said first surface and to said second surface of said sample, respectively, a reflective material attached to said second substrate, and two electrical contacts each independently in contact with said sample; applying voltage to said sample using said electrical contacts; illuminating said reflective material using a light source, such that said illumination comprises light having known and controllable polarization; collecting light reflected off said reflective material; measuring amplitude and phase of an oscillating change in polarization of the reflected light; and extracting parameters related to expansion/contraction from said reflected light measurement, thus evaluating said expansion/contraction properties of said material.
