Seldom-studied immune cells in the liver may be helpful in treating cancer

CCR researchers have discovered that certain immune cells in the liver, called MAITs, often surround liver tumors but fail to infiltrate them. An analysis suggests that treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors could potentially trigger these immune cells to help them infiltrate and attack the tumors.
