Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have discovered a molecular switch that plays a role in the development of lymphoma: If a protein called PP4R1 is missing, T cells can divide in an uncontrolled manner, migrate through the body and eventually form skin tumors. The researchers have published their results in the specialist journal “Immunity”.
