🚨 New research breakthrough! 🚨Assistant Professor Dechen Lin’s latest work has identified a key gene—KMT2C—that enhances the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in fighting head & neck cancers. This gene helps "wake up" T-cells, mobilizing the body's own immune system to attack tumors more effectively. 💪With this discovery, immunotherapy could offer better outcomes for patients who don't respond to traditional treatments. The research is published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.A huge step forward in cancer treatment! 🧬 Read more at hubs.ly/Q036kgXW0#HeadAndNeckCancer #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #TCells #CancerBreakthrough ...
