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

MScR - Preserving t-tubule function in adult cardiac myocytes in short-term culture

University of Bristol School of Physiology, Pharmacology & Neuroscience

Invaginations of the sarcolemma of adult cardiac myocytes known as transverse (or t-) tubules account for up to 65% of the total sarcolemma surface and play a key role in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and cell signalling (Hong & Shaw, 2017). Read more

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
