Nuclear stiffening in neoplastic cells aggregates T cell exhaustion via pFAK/SP1/IL-6 axis in colorectal cancer

Hao Kong, Xiangji Wu, Qingxin Yang…·Hong Jiang

The paper shows that nuclear stiffening in colorectal cancer cells promotes T cell exhaustion through the pFAK/SP1/IL-6 axis, and inhibiting pFAK improves antitumor immunity.
