Cancer cells are masters of disguise, evading immune destruction through cunning mechanisms. Groundbreaking research reveals a novel tactic: mitochondrial transfer. Cancer cells cripple immune cells by donating their damaged mitochondria, hindering the immune response and fostering tumour growth.
Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, have unveiled a pivotal connection between genetic changes in microglia, immune-regulating brain cells, and the inflammatory response associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
