This publication in Nature was fascinating: Cancer cells swap mutated mitochondria with tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TILs). Metabolism is the keystone of cancer immunotherapy, yet often overlooked. Could this mechanism provide clues to increasing patient response? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mitochondria with mutations in their DNA from cancer cells can be transferred to T cells in the tumour microenvironment, which leads to T cell dysfunction and impaired antitumour immunity.
