30-Jul-2025 The surprising dual role: how Tregs, which normally suppress the immune system, can sometimes help fight tumors FAR Publishing Limited Researchers have systematically elucidated the anti-tumour mechanisms of regulatory T cells (Tregs) for the first time. These immune cells not only suppress pro-tumour inflammation but also enhance anti-tumour immunity, challenging the long-held view that Tregs inevitably promote tumour progression. This discovery provides key insights for developing next-generation immunotherapy strategies.
