Mitochondrial Manipulation in Cancer
This chapter explores the intricate relationship between cancer cells and mitochondria, focusing on how cancer cells hijack functional mitochondria from T cells to enhance their energy supply and weaken immune responses. It discusses the mechanisms of mitochondrial transfer, the role of defective mitochondria in immune evasion, and potential therapeutic strategies to improve T cell functionality against tumors. The conversation emphasizes the broader implications of these dynamics in the tumor microenvironment and their significance in cancer treatment.
