Erythropoietin Promotes an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment in Liver Cancer Models – NCI Division of Cancer Biology

NCI Division of Cancer Biology shared on LinkedIn:

“An NIH-funded study showed that erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells) secreted by tumor cells promotes an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in liver cancer models. It also found that blocking erythropoietin signaling enhances immune responses to tumors.”
