Abstract

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are cells of neutrophil and monocyte lineages with potent immunosuppressive activity. Numerous studies in mice and humans have identified important roles for MDSCs in suppressing the antitumour response and determining the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. However, there is still much controversy regarding their identity, ontogeny and functions that must be resolved to fulfill their therapeutic potential. In this Viewpoint, Nature Reviews Immunology invites eight experts in the field to share their thoughts on the key questions and challenges in MDSC research.
