CD73 on cancer-associated fibroblasts enhanced by the A2B-mediated feedforward circuit enforces an immune checkpoint

Our understanding on how CAFs can be activated to support tumour progression is still limited. Here, the authors demonstrate that adenosine produced in the tumour microenvironment can enhance the expression of CD73 in CAFs ultimately driving CD8 T-Cell suppression and tumour growth.
