Loss of fragile site-associated tumor suppressor promotes antitumor immunity via macrophage polarization

The role of common fragile site associated genes such as FATS in the immune system is unclear. Here the authors show that deletion of Fats in a mouse tumour model leads to reduced tumour growth and change of macrophage phenotype from an M2-like to M1-like function.
