    Abstract: Mechanisms including: receiving a first set of observed spike counts (FSoOSCs) for the spiking cells; determining a set of probabilities (SoPs) by: retrieving the SoPs from stored information (SI); or calculating the SopS based on the SI, wherein the SI regards possible biological states (BSs) of a subject, wherein each of the possible BSs belongs to at least one of a plurality of time sequences (PoTSs) of BSs, wherein each of the PoTSs of BSs corresponds to a possible action of the subject, and wherein each probability in the set of probabilities indicates a likelihood of observing a possible spike count for one of the plurality of spiking cells; identifying using a hardware processor a first identified BS of the subject from the possible BSs based on the FSoOSCs and the set of probabilities; and determining an action to be performed based on the first identified BS.

    Abstract: The method of enhancing anti-tumor immunity in a patient by targeting the CD58:CD2 axis uses an administered treatment to target and disrupt CMTM6 regulation of PD-L1 protein, thus enhancing the immune response and cancer immunotherapy in the patient. Targeting and disruption of CMTM6 regulation of the PD-L1 protein may be combined with additional prompting of a PD-1 blockage or adoptive cell transfer (ACT) in the patient. Targeting and disrupting CMTM6 regulation of PD-L1 protein may be initiated by administering an effective amount of antibodies to the patient, which are specific to disrupting CMTM6/PD-L1 protein interaction. Alternatively, to enhance the anti-tumor immunity in the patient, CD2 mediated signaling may be increased in order to stimulate an immune response. As another alternative to using antibodies or a CD58 mimetic, a pharmacological target to boost CD2/CD58 signaling in the patient may be identified and administered to enhance anti-tumor immunity.
