IL4I1+ Macrophage Accumulation in Advanced Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas Suggests a Role in Tumor Immune Escape.
A specific immune cell type may help rare T-cell lymphomas escape treatment, suggesting a new target to restore immune attack.
This translational study identifies IL4I1-expressing macrophages as potential mediators of tumor immune escape in advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a rare and often treatment-refractory malignancy. The finding suggests IL4I1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic target to restore anti-tumor immunity in advanced CTCL.
