Immune cells can be stimulated to boost effects of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer: Study
A new study from Queen Mary University of London has demonstrated that immune cells can be stimulated to assemble into special structures within pancreatic cancer, such that, at least in a pre-clinical model, researchers can demonstrate an improvement in the efficacy of chemotherapy. The research was published in Cellular and Molecular […]

Study discusses impact of chemotherapy on immune cells
The findings of recent research from Queen Mary University of London revealed novel insights into the effects of chemotherapy on the tumour microenvironment (TME). The study, published today in Cancer Immunology Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, found that chemotherapy enhances the anti-tumour actions of immune cells within […]
