Abstract:CD8+ T cell dysfunction is a critical barrier to anti-tumor immunity, but molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of T cell dysfunction in solid tumors are diverse and complex. Extracellular matrix (ECM) composition facilitates solid tumor progression in part by inhibiting T cell migration/infiltration; however, the impact of individual ECM molecules on T cell function in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is virtually unknown. Moreover, upstream regulators of aberrant ECM deposition/organization in solid… Show more
