More Information
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, affecting millions of patients and their families every year. The development of immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell) therapy, revolutionized cancer medicine.
Despite the promise of immunotherapies, their efficacy is limited by T cell exhaustion, a phenomenon where T cells lose their ability to fight tumors or viruses after prolonged exposure. A thorough understanding of T cell exhaustion, therefore, is critical to developing novel strategies to overcome this issue and restore therapeutic efficacy.
