Unlocking glioblastoma's immune suppression mechanism

The Wistar Institute assistant professor Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., and team, have discovered a key mechanism of how glioblastoma -; a serious and often fatal brain cancer -; suppresses the immune system so that the tumor can grow unimpeded by the body's defenses.
