Researcher Presents Research on Delta Opioid Receptor in Cancer Immunotherapy
What happened
TuHURA Biosciences announced that it will present research at the 68th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in New Orleans. The research highlights the role of the Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) in controlling the immunosuppressive capabilities of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) and other immune cells. Krit Ritthipichai also presented research at the ASH meeting in New Orleans.

Why it matters
The research suggests that DOR plays a central role in the proliferation and immune suppression capabilities of MDSCs, T regs, and M2 macrophages. These cells are known to cause resistance and failure in cancer immunotherapy when hijacked by cancer.
