High hopes and high honours for cancer immunotherapy

This issue of the Biomedical Journal honours the laureates of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their ground-breaking contributions to cancer immunotherapy and unveils the identification of essential intermediates between microtubule-targeting agents and apoptosis. Subsequently, we...
