Melanoma Cancer Cells Secrete Extracellular Vesicles to Paralyze Immune Cells

Melanoma cancer cells secrete extracellular vesicles to paralyze immune cells

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are tiny, bubble-shaped containers secreted from a given cell. The research team believes that this discovery has far-reaching implications for possible treatments for t…

Researchers discover a mechanism that allows melanoma cancer cells to paralyze immune cells

A new international study led by the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds: melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are tiny, bubble-shaped containers secreted from a given cell. The research team believes that this discovery has far-reaching implications for possible treatments for the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma is the deadliest type of skin tumor…

Researchers identify a previously unknown mechanism by which melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells through extracellular vesicle secretion, revealing a key strategy of immune evasion and offering new insights into potential immunotherapeutic targets
