New Study Unveils Shared Immune Suppression Mechanism in Cancer and Pregnancy

In a groundbreaking study recently published in Cell, a team of researchers has shed light on the shared immune tolerance mechanisms present in both cancer and pregnancy.

The study zeroes in on the role of progestogen-induced B7 Homolog 4 (B7-H4), an immune checkpoint protein, highlighting it as a crucial onco-fetal immune tolerance checkpoint. This mechanism facilitates the immune system’s acceptance of both cancerous and fetal cells.
