Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

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.
