Exposure to Tobacco Smoking Induces a subset of Activated Tumor-resident Tregs in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Tobacco smoking is the major cause of non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it is barely known how smoking impact the tumor immune environment (TIME) of lung cancer.We integrated single-cell RNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq data from several studies to systematically study the impact of smoking on T...
