How do we restore immunity against cancer?
🌟Dr. David Brooks, an immuno-oncology scientist at @UHN’s @pmcancercentre, studies why our body’s immune system sometimes fails to fight chronic diseases, including cancer.

Great teamwork @SoundTsao@DanielSchramek@decarvalho_lab@brooks_lab@kuraoncology and many others
Glycans regulate T cell function.
This statement is simple but it keeps me up at night — which glycans? On which cells? When? Do mechanisms translate across mice and humans?
To address this, we have curated 'A Unified Atlas of T cell Glycophysiology' https://t.co/NXjVYX6sTU
It's out! @JackieEBader led our new @TheMarkFdn Endeavor team study showing obesity promotes PD-1 on macrophages to suppress anti-tumor immunity but sensitize to checkpoint therapy--a new mechanism of the cancer "obesity paradox" @VUMC_VCI @VUMC_Cancer
