Immunotherapy: Manipulating T cell metabolism to improve anti-tumour immunity

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

The induction of immune responses to tumours can provide long-lasting protection from cancer. In this regard, T cells can suppress tumour growth by directly killing cancer cells and by producing inflammatory cytokines. Read more
