Single‐Cell Transcriptome Atlas Reveals the Underlying Mechanism of Kynurenic Acid in the Regulation of Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Glioblastoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
KYNA regulates the tumor immune microenvironment in glioblastoma. KYNA reprograms the balance between T cell exhaustion and activation to suppress glioblastoma progression through inhibiting exhaustion‐associated markers (such as PD‐1, LAG3, and TOX) and enhancing immune activation and cytotoxicity markers including granzymes GZMA and GZMB.
