NIH grant awarded to study the role of regulatory T cells in brain metastasis and reactive astrogliosis to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Description
This project investigates how regulatory T (Treg) cells influence reactive astrocytes and tumor progression in the brain, aiming to uncover new therapeutic strategies. Brain metastasis represents the last stage of cancer, with no effective therapies to date.
