Journal ArticleDOI

The instructive role of innate immunity in the acquired immune response.

TL;DR: Innate immunity has been considered only to provide rapid, incomplete antimicrobial host defense until the slower, more definitive acquired immune response develops but may have an additional role in determining which antigens the acquired immune system responds to and the nature of that response.
Journal ArticleDOI

A framework for advancing our understanding of cancer-associated fibroblasts

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement issues a call to action for all cancer researchers to standardize assays and report metadata in studies of cancer-associated fibroblasts to advance the understanding of this important cell type in the tumour microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

T cell exclusion, immune privilege, and the tumor microenvironment

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed that stromal cells of the tumor microenvironment mediate this restriction by excluding T cells from the vicinity of cancer cells, and overcoming this T cell checkpoint may enable optimal immunotherapy.
