    Mi-2β Promotes Immune Evasion in Melanoma by Activating EZH2 Methylation

    Scientists identified Mi-2β as a key melanoma-intrinsic effector regulating the adaptive anti-tumor immune response. Studies in genetically engineered mouse melanoma models indicated that loss of Mi-2β rescued the immune response to immunotherapy in vivo.
