An Immune Cell Meant to Fight Cancer Gets Reprogrammed by Tumors to Help Them Instead
Tel Aviv University researchers found that macrophages, the immune cells that clear dead cancer cells, get reprogrammed to stimulate tumor blood vessel growth instead of fighting cancer. The Effero-seq technology used to track this process in real time may point toward a new class of therapeutic targets.

FDA-approved drug may finally help immunotherapy defeat rare liver cancer
Researchers found that a rare liver cancer evades immunotherapy by luring immune T cells away from the tumor and trapping them in nearby fibrous tissue. An FDA-approved drug called AMD3100 freed those T cells to attack the cancer, significantly improving the effectiveness of immunotherapy in tumor samples.
