Relationship between IFNγ-dependent tumour escape and immunotherapy

University of Oxford Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology

Tumours actively escape the immune system by inducing an immunosuppressive state whereby intra-tumoural CD8 T-cells are “exhausted”, lacking effector functions. Read more

Investigating how dormant senescent cells can drive drug-resistance following chemotherapy

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Most anti-cancer chemotherapeutics work by inducing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in either G1 or G2 phase. A frequent outcome of this arrest is that cells exit the cell cycle into a state known as senescence. Read more

Interdisciplinary investigation of the role of amino acids in immunometabolic responses to metformin in human cells

University of Dundee School of Medicine

There is overwhelming evidence that inflammation contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but counterbalancing this is evidence from meta-analysis of randomised control trials that many existing anti-inflammatory drugs, such as COX2 inhibitors and anti-TNF drugs, tend if anything to exacerbate risk of CVD.
