dc.description.abstract | Although tumor immunotherapy has been developed for various cancers, sustaining T-cell activation and recruitment in immunosuppressive solid tumors remains a major hurdle. T-cell function is modulated by mechanical cues, such as extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, but the molecular details by which such signals direct T-cell function are poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the role of Yap, a key mechanotransduction effector, in T-cell function in response to matrix stiffness. We aim to gain a better understanding of mechanoregulation on T-cell function through Yap, which will offer insights for the development of immunotherapies with improved T-cell response. | en_US |
