Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy sensitizes tumor cells to TRAIL-dependent CD8 T cell-mediated immune attack resulting in suppression of tumor growth

Anti-cancer chemotherapy can be simultaneously lymphodepleting and immunostimulatory.

Fetal growth and risk of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The relation between intrauterine growth and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia was investigated in an Australian population-based case-control...

Receptor mutation is not a common mechanism of naturally occurring glucocorticoid resistance in leukaemia cell lines

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are among the most important drugs for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

Targeting the effector site with IFN-alphabeta-inducing TLR ligands reactivates tumor-resident CD8 T cell responses to eradicate established solid tumors

Effective antitumor CD8 T cell responses may be activated by directly targeting the innate immune system within tumors.

Exposure to diesel exhaust increases risk of child brain tumours

Research at Telethon Institute has shown a correlation between brain tumours in young children and their parents' exposure to diesel exhaust fumes before birth.
