Article Title: | TGF-β inhibition and immunotherapy: Checkmate |
Abstract: | Immune checkpoint therapy can induce durable remissions, but many tumors demonstrate resistance. In a recent issue of Nature, Mariathasan et al. (2018) and Tauriello et al. (2018) identify stromal TGF-β signaling as a determinant of immune exclusion. Combination TGF-β inhibition and immunotherapy induces complete responses in mouse models.
