This commentary article highlights two recently published studies, which for the first time revealed the immunological underpinnings of sex-bias in cancer incidence and mortality. These studies showed that the androgen receptor restrains anti-tumour immunity in males by repressing cytotoxic genes in CD8 T cells.
这篇评论文章重点介绍了最近发表的两项研究,这两项研究首次揭示了癌症发病率和死亡率中性别偏见的免疫学基础。这些研究表明,雄激素受体通过抑制CD8 T细胞中的细胞毒性基因来抑制男性的抗肿瘤免疫。
