🆕Paper from Naomi van den Berg (@naomiirisvdberg.bsky.social) in Cancer Cell proposes the "immunometabolic gatekeeping" framework to explain how tissue metabolism conditions tumour immunity @crick.ac.uk @cruk-mi.bsky.social @uofgcancersciences.bsky.social @cp-cancercell.bsky.social

Immunometabolic gatekeeping: How tissue metabolism conditions tumor immunity

Why the link between immune infiltration and tumor control varies so strongly across tissues remains unresolved. We propose the “immunometabolic gatekeeping” framework, whereby tissue-intrinsic metabo...
