Article Synopsis
- Scientists are looking for better ways to treat cancer using immune therapies, which help the body's own defenses fight the disease.
- They found that a specific enzyme, HSD11B1, in kidney tumors is linked to worse treatment results because it prevents the immune system from working well.
- Blocking this enzyme improved the effectiveness of a popular cancer therapy, boosting the immune response and helping mice survive longer after treatment.
