Suppressing a Single Protein Sparks New Hope for Brain Cancer

Glioblastoma has long resisted treatment, but scientists may have found a breakthrough by leveraging the body’s own evolutionary history. Researchers discovered that suppressing a protein called ZNF638 can trigger an antiviral immune response, making immune checkpoint inhibitors more effective. This process, called viral mimicry, tricks the body into thinking the tumor is infected, prompting an [...]
