Abstract

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAM) represent the major inflammatory component of the stroma of many tumours, and can affect different aspects of the neoplastic tissue. Many observations indicate that TAM express several M2-associated pro-tumoural functions, including promotion of angiogenesis, matrix remodelling and suppression of adaptive immunity. The pro-tumoural role of TAM in cancer is further supported by clinical studies that found a correlation between the high macrophage content of tumours and poor patient prognosis. Evidence is presented here supporting the view that TAM represent a unique and distinct M2-skewed myeloid population and are a potential target for anti-cancer therapy.

Cellular Immunometabolism

Immunometabolism involves not only the way metabolites are digested by the immune system, but the way in which they can alter the pathway of the immune system. These responses occur in day-to-day healthy cell functioning, but can result in diseases, such as autoimmune disorders. Discover the latest research on cellular immunometabolism here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Breast Invasive Carcinoma

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
