Immunotherapy: Manipulating T cell metabolism to improve anti-tumour immunity

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

The induction of immune responses to tumours can provide long-lasting protection from cancer. In this regard, T cells can suppress tumour growth by directly killing cancer cells and by producing inflammatory cytokines. Read more

Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for the repair of damaged tissue following injury and disease as well as moderating innate and adaptive immune responses and regulation of self-tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Read more

Structural and functional analysis of the protein complexes which regulate cell fate decisions to identify novel cancer therapies

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Whether a cell dies or not has profound consequences on health and disease. In healthy tissue, cells that acquire high levels of genetic damage are safely removed via a process of programmed cell death. Read more

Molecular mechanism of vimentin induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in cancer cells

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Background. Most cancers are epithelial in origin and arise from a single progenitor cell, similar to an embryo, to become a clone of cells. Read more

Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
