Discovery improves the effectiveness of oncologic immunotherapy (ANSA)
A study in "Science" shows how melanomas, in mice, reduce immune defenses. To this end, these tumours release an antioxidant molecule that deprives T-cells of a signal essential to their ability to destroy tumors.
Cancer cells release antioxidants and thereby weaken T cells – a possible starting point to improve immunotherapy.
Cancer cells have a previously unknown way of trying to escape attack from the immune system by creating an environment rich in antioxidants that chemically 'suffocate' T cells, a discovery that could open the door to new therapeutic targets. A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) and the University of […] The entry Cancer cells release antioxidants so that the immune system does not destroy them appeared first o…
