Effect of extracellular vesicles in remodeling the tumor microenvironment by DNMT1 downregulation for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>The efficacy of immunotherapy is often hindered by the suppression of immune responses via the tumor microenvironment (TME). The presence of cancer cells forces other proximal non-cancerous cells to support tumor growth and persistence. A clear example of this cancerous-to-non-cancerous communication is represented by the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) within the TME. Several studies have convergently shown…
