Inflammatory cytokines can hijack mTORC1 in #cancer cells, resulting in amino acid competition with #CD8+ cells and starved #immunity. We discuss findings from Xiang et al in our News&Views article for @natcellbio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Full access: rdcu.be/fh2a6
Inflammation starves antitumour immunity - Nature Cell Biology
When cells sense amino acids, they activate a kinase complex known as mTORC1 in a process that can regulate cancer metabolism and growth. Work now shows that in nutrient-limiting conditions, inflammat...
