New Research: TRNA Modification Triggers Anti-tumour Immunity | Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute New research has uncovered an unexpected way to stimulate the immune system against cancer: by subtly disrupting how tumour cells manufacture their proteins.

Exciting new research from our Group Leader @sylvaindelaunay.bsky.social and Pierre Close at @universitedeliege.bsky.social shows how modifying a tRNA can alter the immune profile of #melanoma - exposing it to the #ImmuneSystem
