Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.
