Activity of macrophages in tumors remain poorly defined
Patrick Hwu shared on X:
“The metabolic networks regulating the activity of macrophages in tumors remain poorly defined. Filippo Veglia, along with Moffitt’s Michael Vogelbaum, Paolo Rodriguez and other colleagues, reported that ER stress-driven glucose metabolism drives the immunoinhibitory potential of brain tumor macrophages, via histone lactylation.
Here’s a link to the full article.”
