Tumor extracellular vesicle-derived PD-L1 promotes T cell senescence through lipid metabolism reprogramming.

The limited success of cancer immunotherapy has posed challenges in treating patients with cancer. However, promising strides could be made with a deeper understanding of the factors that cause T cell dysfunction within the tumor microenvironment and by developing effective strategies to counteract tumor-induced immune suppression. Here, we report that tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tEVs) can induce senescence and suppression in T cells.
