Researchers identify how lymphoma tumours evade the immune response.

Natural killer cells of the immune system can fend off malignant lymphoma cells and thus are considered a promising therapeutic approach. However, previous studies show that in the direct vicinity of the tumour they lose their effect without a full understanding of this mechanism. Now, researchers of Helmholtz Zentrum München have now elucidated which mechanisms block the natural killer cells and how this blockade could … Continue reading Researchers identify how lymphoma tumours evade the immune response.
