Abstract:
:The myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) is the 'queen bee' of the tumor microenvironment. MDSCs protect the cancer from the patient's immune system, make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy, and allow the tumor to thrive while the patient withers away. Eliminating MDSCs should improve response rates to cancer therapy and patient survival.

杂志文章,评审abstract::Nearly all molecules known to signal cells via G proteins have been assigned a cloned G-protein-coupled-receptor (GPCR) gene. This has been the result of a decade-long genetic search that has also identified some receptors for which ligands are unknown; these receptors are described as orphans (oGPCRs). More than 80 o...
