Comprehensive atlas maps dendritic cells across cancers

Researchers from VIB, VUB, and an international network of collaborators have created the most comprehensive single-cell atlas to date of tumor-associated dendritic cells. By integrating data from 14 mouse tumor models and 10 human cancer types, the study provides a detailed, cross-species view of how these key immune cells are organized and altered in cancer. The work, which is published in Nature Communications, can guide the development of next-generation therapies.
