Mitochondrial transfer and metabolic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment aid cancer immune evasion

Caption

Researchers from Japan, discover mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells to immune cells and metabolic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment as a key immune evasion strategy. Targeting mitochondrial transfer can help improve the efficacy of immunotherapy in unresponsive patients.
