Helminth products as macrophage “trainers”: a novel tool to induce anti-inflammatory trained immunity

Kingston University Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education

The innate immune system can display characteristics of immunological memory. This phenomenon, termed “trained immunity”, refers to the long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells after the encounter with infectious or non-infectious agents that influences their capacity to respond to a secondary stimulus.

SLS 3: Investigating the anti-inflammatory effects of artemisinin compounds on macrophages under systemic inflammatory conditions

University of Westminster School of Life Sciences

Artemisinin compounds are safe and effective antimalarials. Recent evidence in our lab has shown these compounds also exert a potent anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting neutrophil migration and the release of cytokines, chemokines and neutrophil extracellular traps. Read more

Investigating how tumour associated macrophages affect cancer metastasis and response to therapies

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Solid tumours are generally highly infiltrated by macrophages. Macrophages are heterogeneous and different populations with different and sometimes even opposite functions co-exist in tumours affecting cancer progression. Read more
