CNIO researchers propose a new treatment for brain metastasis based on immunotherapy

Caption

Cells around a brain metastasis in an animal model: several brain cells (astrocytes, white) surround an immune system cell (lymphocyte, green). Some of them have started to activate the factor (red) inducing molecule TIMP1, which will enable them to disable the action of the lymphocyte against the tumor cells.
