Abstract

Cancer cells seed distant tissues and remain dormant before re-entering the cell cycle to form metastases. How tumor dormancy is maintained and how cells exit dormancy is poorly understood. A study shows that the lncRNA MALAT1 reactivates dormant cancer cells by upregulating serpin protease inhibitors in tumor cells to evade CD8+ T cells.
