Description

Li, Severson, Pignon, and their team studied tumor immunity in 2016. A tumor does not grow alone; immune cells move in and act on it. How those two sides interact shapes how the disease will go and how drugs will work.

The team used new computing methods to count the immune cells inside tumors from gene data. They also mapped how the mix of cells forms and shifts over time. A sound count can flag which patients may gain from immunotherapy, drugs that free the immune system to attack the tumor. It can also hint at why some tumors resist drugs, and guide new cures.
