Folinic acid elevates levels of two anti-cancer immune molecules within pancreatic tumors: natural killer T cells and type-I interferons.

In mice, this led to a more effective immune response, slower tumor growth, and longer survival.

The Fearon lab now aims to translate its discovery into new therapeutics.
