Unexpected discovery into how a key immune checkpoint works – National Cancer Institute

National Cancer Institute (NCI) shared a post on LinkedIn:    .

“Our immune system should ideally recognize and attack infectious invaders and cancerous cells. But the system requires safety mechanisms, or brakes, to keep it from damaging healthy cells.

Researchers have made an unexpected discovery into how a key immune checkpoint works, with potentially important implications for therapies designed to boost or dampen immune activity to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases.”
