It is increasingly appreciated that resident liver cells- Kupffer cells, Ito cells, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells &#8211; as well as infiltrating myeloid and lymphoid populations, collectively establish an immunosuppressive microenvironment that favors metastatic seeding and progression. Advances in our understanding of these cell-cell interactions and the exclusion of effector T cells, have highlighted new therapeutic entry points. In parallel, innovations in gene-delivery platforms, from lentiviral and AAV vectors to lipid nanoparticles, and in engineered immune cells such as CAR-T and CAR-NK cells, are opening avenues to modulate the hepatic tumor niche. Here we review how these insights into liver immunobiology inform the design of next-generation immunotherapies for LMS, emphasizing opportunities and challenges in translating them to the clinic.<\/p>\n<p>PMID:<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/41401477\/?utm_source=SimplePie&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=9009458&amp;ff=20251216195208&amp;v=2.18.0.post22+67771e2\">41401477<\/a> | DOI:<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.smim.2025.102012\">10.1016\/j.smim.2025.102012<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Semin Immunol. 2025 Dec 15;81:102012. doi: 10.1016\/j.smim.2025.102012.
