Tumor derived UBR5 promotes ovarian cancer growth and metastasis through inducing immunosuppressive macrophages

Ovarian cancer cells often metastasize to the peritoneal cavity, forming spheroid-like structures and promoting a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, the authors show that the ubiquitin ligase UBR5 is required for ovarian cancer growth and metastasis, sustaining spheroid formation...
