Scientists decode how cancer cells sneak immune system by hijacking mitochondria

Cancer immunotherapy works by programming immune cells to recognise and eliminate cancer cells. However, many cancer cells trick the immune system and resist treatment. Scientiests have now decoded how these cancer cells evade the immune system to attack the cells. Cancer cells interact with immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, where they can reshape TME to their advantage by weakening tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, the immune cells that attack tumors.
