Immunotherapeutic Phospholipid for Cancer Treatment (2023-012)
A hallmark feature of malignant cell growth is the presence of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer cells have evolved mechanisms that promote the escape from the host immune attack which sustains tumor growth. Reversal of immunosuppression in the TME is now considered a powerful approach for cancer treatment. The TME is a complex...
