FMRP – the protein behind immunotherapy resistance

Immunotherapy is a cutting-edge approach to treating cancer by turning the patient’s own immune system against their tumor. Despite success rates, immunotherapy has time and again met with a stubborn obstacle: tumor cells often evade the “radar” of immune cells seeking to destroy them. This in turn leads to treatment resistance, which in many cases […]
