Abstract
Cancer cells subvert the immune system by reprogramming their metabolism. In a recent study in Nature, Ikeda et al.1 show how cancer cells can directly transfer mitophagy-resistant mitochondria to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, promoting their homoplasmic replacement and undermining cancer immunity.
