Midkine expression by stem-like tumor cells drives persistence to mTOR inhibition and rewires the microenvironment toward an immune-suppressive state

This study identifies a stem-like tumor cell state in TSC-associated tumors that drives resistance to mTOR inhibition and promotes an immune-suppressive microenvironment through midkine expression.
