Immune System's Role in Cancer Growth Unveiled

New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center reveals that chronic activation of the innate immune system, particularly due to issues in the Mre11 complex, can lead to genome instability and cancer development. This discovery highlights the dual role of the innate immune system in both defending against pathogens and maintaining genome stability. The findings suggest that targeting the immune pathways involved could offer new therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.
