Harnessing Nanoparticles for Immunomodulation and Vaccines
The first successful use of nanoparticles (NPs) for vaccination was reported almost 40 years ago with a virus-like particle-based vaccine against Hepatitis B. Since then, the term NP has been expanded to accommodate a large number of novel nano-sized particles engineered from a range of materials. The great interest in NPs is likely not only a result of the two successful vaccines against hepat...
متن کاملHarnessing the potential of radiation-induced immune modulation for cancer therapy.
The conventional use of radiotherapy is for local tumor control. Radiotherapy of the primary tumor can prevent the development of distant metastases, but this modality is generally not effective for treating preexisting systemic disease. However, radiation-induced tumor destruction may be considered a novel strategy for in situ cancer vaccination, in which tumor antigens released from dying tum...
متن کاملHarnessing the immune response for cancer detection.
The development of cancer is a multistep process. The most effective means for eradicating cancer is through detection and eradication of precursor lesions, as is done with removal of polyps to prevent colon cancer. For most cancers, we are challenged by lack of effective means to detect precursor lesions as well as cancerous lesions at an early stage. A strategy yet to be fully exploited stems...
متن کاملHarnessing the immune response to target tumors
Development of "immune-based targeted therapy" in oncology has limited experience with signal pathway modulation. However, as we have become better versed in understanding immune function related to anticancer response, "hints" of specific targets associated with sensitivity and resistance have been identified with targeted immune therapy. This brief review summarizes the relationship of severa...
متن کاملHarnessing Immune Alterations in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Immune dysfunction, a well-established feature of neuroinflammatory disease, is increasingly recognized in neurodegenerative conditions. Its role is emerging as an early and active participant in neuropathology. Inflammation could be modified, with disease-slowing effects, by targeted interventions; it is also readily detectable and could serve as a source of valuable biomarkers.
