Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth

Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Justine Pascual, Amber Dawn Bowler, Anita Bodac, Vincent Roh

Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...
