Researchers identify enzyme that suppresses immune system in breast cancer

Duke Cancer Institute researchers outlined a potential way to uncloak breast cancer tumors to the body’s immune system. Publishing in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers identified an enzyme in cells involved in regulating the growth and spread of breast cancers. Testing in mice, they demonstrated a way to shut down the enzyme’s activity to allow T-cells to mount an immune attack.
