GoKawiilPLA2G2D enzyme in lymph nodes found to suppress anti-tumor immune response
Researchers analyzed tumor-draining lymph nodes from melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer patients, comparing those with early disease recurrence to those without, using tissue collected during routine diagnostic procedures at Erasmus MC. The study identifies the enzyme PLA2G2D as a regulator within these lymph nodes that influences how effectively the immune system mounts a response against tumors.
