Inflammation and tumor progression: signaling pathways and targeted intervention
Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses tumor progression, potentially displaying opposing effects on t...
Signaling in Innate Immunity and Inflammation
Inflammation is triggered when innate immune cells detect infection or tissue injury. Surveillance mechanisms involve pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on the cell surface an...
The detection and localization of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human ovarian cancer.
Chemokines may control the macrophage infiltrate found in many solid tumors. In human ovarian cancer, in situ hybridization detected mRNA for the macrophage chemokine monocyte c...
Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment: new findings and future perspectives
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a stromal cell population with cell-of-origin, phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, are the most essential components of the tumor micr...
Role of Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Shaping the Effector Phase of the Antitumor Immune Response
Abstract Immune system–mediated eradication of neoplastic cells requires induction of a strong long-lasting antitumor T-cell response. However, generation of tumor-specific effe...
