Isoxazole-based molecules restore NK cell immune surveillance in hepatocarcinogenesis by targeting TM4SF5 and SLAMF7 linkage
This study has recently been accepted in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy. The study reveals a new immune checkpoint of NK cells functional in the livers, a TM4SF5 and SLAMF7 linkage, and TM4SF5-specific isoxazole-based small molecules inhibitory against the linkage.
