CDK4/6 inhibitors not only induce cell-cycle arrest but also promote antitumor immunity by stimulating the production of type III interferons, which enhance tumor antigen presentation, and suppress regulatory T cells. The immune effects of these drugs provide a rationale for combining CDK4/6 inhibitors with checkpoint blockade agents.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
M cyclin...
Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...
