Genetic Mechanisms of Immune Evasion in Cancer Cells Revealed
Recent research published in Nature Genetics delves into the genetic mechanisms driving immune evasion in cancer cells, particularly focusing on repetitive homopolymer sequences in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. The study highlights how somatic mutations in MMR-deficient cancers contribute to tumor immunogenicity and the role of genetic ON/OFF switches in cancer evolution. By elucidating these processes, researchers aim to develop targeted therapies to enhance the immune response against cancer cells.
