Caption

The authors obtained numerous cures safely by treating many different tumor types with a collagen-binding immunotherapy. This image is comprised of tiles in different colors to represent that the therapy can successfully co-opt any solid tumor type's collagen defense against it. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 26, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by N. Momin at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA; and colleagues was titled, "Anchoring of intratumorally administered cytokines to collagen safely potentiates systemic cancer immunotherapy."
