Overcoming immunotherapy resistance in melanoma defective of IFN-g signaling
Melanoma loss of IFN-g signaling is a major mechanism of resistance to immune checkpoint blockers such as anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1, a prominent type of immunotherapies offering unprecedented therapeutic hopes to melanoma patients. However, strategies of overcoming this resistance have been elusive.
