T Cells Inducing Cyst Formation in Breast Cancer

Research has described how CD4+ T cells activated by an immune factor called thymic stromal lymphopoietin suppress breast cancer by differentiating cancer into benign cyst-like structures.
In this image, T cells (yellow) are inducing cyst formation in breast cancer (green), which prevents the cancer cells from proliferating (Ki67 as the marker of cell proliferation, red).
