A study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides new insights into a pair of proteins and their opposing functions in regulating the interferon response in hepatic stellate cells, a critical immune component in the liver’s fight against tumors.
The findings could lead to new treatments targeting a particular protein to better manage inflammation in patients who don’t respond well to existing therapies.
