Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can promote tumor growth and metastases, but whether NETs impact the tumor immune microenvironment remains underexplored. In this issue of Immunity, Teijeira et al. discover that NETs shield tumor cells from cytotoxic immune cells, resulting in impaired tumor clearance.
中性粒细胞胞外陷阱(NETs)可促进肿瘤生长和转移,但 NETs 是否影响肿瘤免疫微环境仍未得到充分探索。在本期《免疫》杂志中,Teijeira 等人发现,NETs 可使肿瘤细胞免受细胞毒性免疫细胞的攻击,导致肿瘤清除受损。
