Immune checkpoint inhibitors

Post by BettyC »

What roles that immune checkpoint inhibitors play in the process of cancer fighting? The mechanism described in the page is quite abstract to understand as immune system is a giant environment for drugs to take effect. Any feedback on this is appreciated.

Hi BettyC,

These forums are specifically for K-12 students, parents, and teachers working on science fair projects. Is your question related to a K-12 science fair project? (Your question doesn't immediately strike me as related to such a project). If the question is related to a K-12 science project, what is the hypothesis you are trying to test? If your question is not related to such a project, then a different set of online forums will be better able to help you.
All the best,
Terik
