Study of immune 'neighborhoods' highlights macrophages as key players in invasive breast cancers
Most immunotherapies, which aim to boost T cell activity, work poorly in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Targeting a different type of immune cell called macrophages could be a more effective approach, ...

Exposing cancers to bacteria reminds first responder immune cells which side they're on
Introducing bacteria to a tumor's microenvironment creates a state of acute inflammation that triggers the immune system's primary responder cells to attack rather than protect a tumor, according to a new study from the Garvan ...

In search of the 'inflammatory Achilles heel'
When our bodies become infected, various immune responses are triggered, starting with a release of granulocytes, white blood cells containing special enzymes that make up about half or more of all human white blood cells.
