Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer in the tumour microenvironment - Nature Mitochondria with mutations in their DNA from cancer cells can be transferred to T cells in the tumour microenvironment, which leads to T cell dysfunction and impaired antitumour immunity.

Cool new paper on cancer immune evasion!

Cancer cells can not only capture mitochondria from incoming immune T cells to power their own growth, they exchange them for their damaged mitochondria which disables an antitumour immune attack
