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.
