Microbes-myeloid-tumor: a colonic triad against T cells

Immunity. 2022 Apr 12;55(4):582-585. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2022.03.011.

Abstract

Immune checkpoint blockade has dramatically improved cancer therapy but remains ineffective for most colorectal tumors. In this issue of Immunity, Peuker et al. describe a microbiota-myeloid-tumor cell crosstalk that inhibits CD8+ T cells and promotes colorectal cancer progression.
