A CD47-associated super-enhancer links pro-inflammatory signalling to CD47 upregulation in breast cancer

Super-enhancers (SEs) are big DNA regions regulating the transcription of oncogenes. Here the authors identify two SE regions regulating the expression of CD47, a protein expressed by cancer cells to avoid phagocytosis by macrophages, thus suggesting a potential mechanism of immune surveillance esca...
