Role of Epigenetic Modifications in Inhibitory Immune Checkpoints in Cancer Development and Progression.

abstract：:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is highly effective in the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or B-cell lymphoma, providing alternative therapeutic options for patients who failed to respond to conventional treatment or relapse. Moreover, it can bridge other therapeutic strategies an...
