Abstract:
In a recent study in Nature Immunology, Musella et al. demonstrate that suboptimal type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling in tumors undergoing immunogenic cell death (ICD) facilitates the accumulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) by triggering the epigenetic regulator lysine demethylase 1B (KDM1B). KDM1B stands out as a promising target for the development of novel strategies to improve anti-cancer responses driven by ICD.
