CaMKK2 in myeloid cells is a key regulator of the immune-suppressive microenvironment in breast cancer

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) is highly expressed in several cancers. Here the authors investigate the role of CaMKK2 expression in the tumour microenvironment and show that CaMKK2 expression in tumour-associated macrophages promotes tumour growth by suppressing T cell anti-t...

Description
Summary:Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) is highly expressed in several cancers. Here the authors investigate the role of CaMKK2 expression in the tumour microenvironment and show that CaMKK2 expression in tumour-associated macrophages promotes tumour growth by suppressing T cell anti-tumour activity.
