Research summary

Marina Capece's research focuses on how cancer cells interact with the immune system, with particular attention to the ATP receptor P2X7 and its role in tumor growth, as well as how cell senescence (a state where cells stop dividing) can be triggered by certain cancer drugs to make tumors more visible to the immune system. This work sits at the intersection of cell biology, cancer biology, and immunology, using mouse models and cell signaling pathways like cGAS-STING to study tumor-immune interactions.

Publication output was relatively steady at 3-4 items per year from 2018-2022, then spiked sharply in 2023 (largely due to supplementary materials from a small number of papers) before returning to a lower, steady level in 2024-2026.
