Transposable elements in various cancers could be used to harness novel immunotherapies

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to harness novel immunotherapies against tumors that don't typically respond to immune-based treatments. Shown is a 3D rendering of cancer cells.
