Study finds protein critical to T cell metabolism, anti-tumour immune response
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that a protein called NF-kappa B-inducing kinase (NIK) is essential for the shift in metabolic activity that occurs with T cell activation, making it a critical factor in regulating the anti-tumour immune response. The preclinical research, published today in Nature Immunology, suggests that […]
