A subset of tumor-associated NK cells restricts checkpoint blockade sensitivity by impeding a ROR-α–dependent cytotoxic CD8 T-cell differentiation program via competition for IFNα & IL-2 Cancer Discovery Zihai Li, MD, PhD aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

#ScienceSaturday ❓Why don’t some immune cells perform well in the fight against #cancer? ➡️ In this study, No-Joon Song et al. found that certain natural killer (NK) cells inside tumors can actually block the growth of the CD8+ T cells we need to fight cancer, while allowing

76 years of professorship. Wow! knoxnews.com/story/news/edu…

This is wild. Unclear mechanistically how it might happen, but this provocative study showed that cancer-associated neurons transfer mitochondria to the cancer cell to induce metabolic reprogramming and increase metastasis. Dr. G Ayala Simon Grelet nature rdcu.be/etpZ6

A win for science and humanity! !science.org/content/articl…

BREAKING: We uncovered a potent immune alliance that could change how we treat solid tumors. Published in Cancer Cell , we show that Th17 cells *must* work with B cells to eliminate tumors—and keep it from coming back. 📄 cell.com/cancer-cell/fu… 🧵1/12👇Let’s walk through it:
