Turning cancer's protein machinery against itself to boost immunity

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly disrupting the way tumors produce their proteins can trigger a potent antitumor immune response. Researchers from the University of Liège and international collaborators have discovered an unexpected way to stimulate the immune system against cancer: by subtly disrupting how tumor cells manufacture their proteins.
