AI Summary

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai discovered that tiny clusters of pancreatic cancer cells can generate localized immune‑protective niches. These niches act as shields, preventing immune cells from attacking the tumor. The study suggests that targeting the mechanisms behind these protective environments could improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies for pancreatic cancer, a disease known for its high mortality.
