Interleukin-1α release during necrotic-like cell death generates myeloid-driven immunosuppression that restricts anti-tumor immunity
Hänggi et al. investigate how tumor necroptosis regulates anti-tumor immunity and find an unexpected role for interleukin-1α (IL-1α) release by dying cells in promoting tumor growth by driving recruitment and functional alterations of myeloid cells, thereby suppressing T cell effector function at steady-state and during chemotherapy.
