Wistar Institute researchers, led by Dr. Veglia, discovered how glioblastoma suppresses immune system via glucose-driven histone lactylation.

Wistar Institute researchers, led by Dr. Filippo Veglia, discovered a key mechanism by which glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, suppresses the immune system. Their findings, published in Immunity journal, reveal how glucose-driven histone lactylation promotes the immunosuppressive activity of monocyte-derived macrophages in glioblastoma. Dr. Veglia believes that understanding these mechanisms could help develop effective treatments against this cancer.
