Brief description Regulatory T (Treg) cells function by suppressing immune system activity, ensuring that our immune system does not mount a response against our own tissue. In cancer, Treg cells suppress anti-tumour immunity, facilitating tumour growth. Recently we have identified a group of active Treg cells that may be the key drivers of immune response regulation. Our work will examine the role of these active Treg cells in tumour immunity, opening the door to more effective targeting of Treg cells in cancer.
