Cell Biology
PD-L1, or Programmed Death-Ligand 1, is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system by inhibiting T-cell activation and promoting immune tolerance. This protein is often expressed on the surface of tumor cells, which can exploit it to evade detection and destruction by the immune system, contributing to cancer progression and survival.
