Comparing top DEGs which differentiate dura-originating from tumor-originating T cells, dura T cells’ DEGs were related to T cell migration and function, such as CXCR3 [58] and ITGAL [59], as well as cell motility genes SUSD3 and FGD3 [60, 61] (Additional file 7). The gene discussed is CXCR3; the disease is neoplasm.
