The interaction between cancer and immune cells is a key area of research and an expanding therapeutic approachWhy is the immune system important for cancer research? Immune evasion and chronic inflammation are

interactions between the immune system and cancer Evidence has been accumulating since the middle of the last century, first from animal models and later from studies in cancer patients, that the immune system can recognise and reject tumours. The goal of tumour immunology has been to understand ...
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...
Efforts to harness the immune system for cancer therapy can be traced back over 100 years; however, cancers develop under constant immunosurveillance and therefore evolve diverse mechanisms of immunosuppression, which have proven difficult to overcome. A breakthrough that eventually led to the establishme...
To date, immunological research has mainly focused on phenotyping the intra-tumoral immune system, while changes in the peripheral immune system have been less investigated. However, the majority of patients with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced disease and 80% of patients will die. The ...
the important role of NAD+and its key generating enzyme, NAMPT, in cancer is understandable. In the present work, we review the role of NAD+and NAMPT in the ways that they may influence cancer metabolism, the immune system, stemness, aging, and cancer. Finally, we review some ongoing res...
Cancer is notoriously difficult to beat, but scientists are excited about the burgeoning field of immuno-oncology and teaching one's immune system to recognize and fight cancer. The newest weapon in the fight against cancer might just be your own body. Through the field of immuno-oncology, scie...
Harnessing the Immune System to Outsmart Cancer: Cutting-Edge Research and Innovations in Immuno-Oncology (hereafter referred to as symposium) is scheduled for August 2nd at the University of Hong Kong, with an expected attendance...
rather than immunogenic cell death for cancer treatment,” Yaffe says. “We showed that if you treated tumor cells in a dish, when you injected them back directly into the tumor and gave checkpoint blockade inhibitors, the live, injured cells were the ones that reawaken the immune system.”...
