Our story made the cover of @JExpMed! So excited to share our work showing how tumor cells profoundly shape their local immune microenvironment @MihoTanakaMT
The cover of our June issue (hubs.la/Q03pvHwm0) shows a whole tumor formed after subcutaneous injection of a 1:1 mixture of CIT6-YFP (yellow) and CIT9-RFP (red) cell lines into mice carrying an inactivated Confetti cassette. From Tanaka et al. (hubs.la/Q03pvBtr0)
