Abstract
Bararia et al. discover and functionally characterize a clinically relevant mechanism of tumor and immune cell interaction in follicular lymphoma, a prototypical type of blood cancer. Cathepsin S alterations result in aberrant hyperactivity of this lysosomal cysteine protease and induce a tumor-promoting CD4+ T cell enriched immune microenvironment.
