The immune system employs two distinct defense strategies against infections: pathogen elimination typified by type 1 immunity, and pathogen containment exemplified by type 2 immunity in association with tissue repair. Akin to infectious diseases, cancer progresses with cancer cell acquisition of microorganism-like behavior propagating at the expense of the host. While immunological mechanisms of cancer cell elimination are well defined, whether immune-mediated cancer cell containment can be induced is poorly understood. Here we show that ablation of transforming growth factor-{beta} receptor II (TGF{beta}RII) in CD4+ T cells promotes tumor tissue healing and halts cancer progression. Notably, the restorative response is dependent on the T helper 2 cytokine IL-4 fortifying vasculature organization that spares only proximal layers of cancer cells from hypoxia, nutrient starvation and death. Thus, type 2 immunity represents an effective cancer defense mechanism, and TGF{beta} signaling in helper T cells may be targeted for novel cancer immunotherapy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
