Audio narration · Coming soon

This study from the University of Chicago reveals how radiation therapy activates the protein TET2 in bone marrow immune cells, causing them to suppress immune responses rather than attack tumors. The findings, published in Cancer Cell, demonstrate a mechanism by which these immune cells can be reprogrammed to fight cancer more effectively.
