New cell type reveals how lung tumors may suppress immune defenses
Researchers at Columbia University have discovered a new type of cell that protects lung cancers from attacks by the immune system. The work, published in Nature Immunology, illuminates a previously unknown capability of lung tumors and suggests a new strategy for targeting the disease, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States.
