Deskripsi

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, frequently resistant to therapies, including natural killer (NK) cell based immunotherapy. Here, the authors show that the circular RNA EZH2 is highly expressed in GBM and encodes the peptide EZH2-92aa, whose expression is associated with inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity.
