Why is the immune system important for cancer research? Immune evasion and chronic inflammation are both hallmarks of cancer as defined byHanahan and Weinberg. Solid tumours are composed of cancer cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) and accessory cells such as immune and endothelial cells. Cancer cell...
The immune system keeps cancer cells at bayIsraeli, EitanIsrael Medical Association Journal
Dividing Cancer Cells. Credit: University of Birmingham When the immune system attacks cancer, the tumour modifies itself to escape the immune reaction. Researchers at LUMC published on this subject inNatureon 28 June. The researchers discovered that as a result of the immune reaction new tumour ...
For cancer to develop, your immune system must be worn out and ineffective. Making it unable to kill cancer cells as fast as they develop. Or you must have been exposed to a great deal of cancer causing toxins, radiation or some such thing. These can increase the development of cancer ce...
Cancer stem cells are believed to be a subset of heterogeneous tumour cells responsible for tumour initiation, growth, local invasion, and metastasis. In b
Role of inflammatory cells during cancer progression How do cancer cells avoid destruction by the immune system? It is currently accepted that anaberrant innate and adaptive immune responsecontributestotumorigenesisbyselecting aggressive clones, inducing immunosuppression, and stimulating cancer cell proliferatio...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- American and Chinese researchers found cancer cells could send out biological "drones" to fight the immune system for their own control. A study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature showed that cancer cells could release small vesicles called exosomes circul...
T cells play a vital role in the immune system by attacking pathogens andcancer cells. The team's study, recently published in the journalStructure, shows how T cell receptors can be engineered for specificity and function, and provides new methods for creating T cell receptors that are able ...
