Supercharging immunotherapy to stop breast cancer from spreading to the lung

by University of Glasgow Graphical abstract. Credit: Journal of Experimental Medicine (2022). DOI: 10.1084/jem.20211431 Breast cancer immunotherapy could be more effective if an immune cell that prevents it from working is targeted at the same time, according to new research from the University of Glasgow. This discovery, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, may be the first...
