ER stress-induced mediator C/EBP homologous protein thwarts effector T cell activity in tumors through T-bet repression

T-cell function impairment is one of the major determinants of tumour immune evasion. Here, the authors show that the hostile conditions in the tumour microenvironment lead to C/EBP homologous-protein upregulation in T cells via ER stress, resulting in repression of T-bet and consequent inhibition o...
