Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

555
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

963
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.2K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

  • To optimize ultrasound-mediated cavitation for cancer immunotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on cavitation and anti-tumour immunity.
  • Analysis of biological and physical mechanisms of cavitation.
  • Assessment of cavitation's impact on immune checkpoint inhibitor delivery and activity.

Main Results:

  • Cavitation is a non-invasive method with potential to enhance immune checkpoint inhibitor delivery.
  • Mechanisms of cavitation's immune-modulating effects require further elucidation.
