Contradictory roles of lipid metabolism in immune response within the tumor microenvironment

Abstract Complex interactions between the immune system and tumor cells exist throughout the initiation and development of cancer. Although the immune system eliminates malignantly transformed cells in the early stage, surviving tumor cells evade host immune defense through various methods and even...
