The immune system in the human body is supposed to be the main force in removing cancer cells, but within tumors, some immune cells are often “counteracted” and become accomplices in the spread of cancer. A study by Professor Hu Ying's team from the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine at Harbin Institute of Technology found a “mutiny driver” hidden within cells — a novel micropeptide named “UEIS,” and studied strategies to deal with it. This result was published online in the international academic journal “Nature - Cancer” on the 9th.
