This study reveals the key role of microglia, brain’s immune cells, in brain metastases progression and identifies a strategy to manipulate them to promote antitumor responses.
This finding, published in Cancer Cell, could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with brain metastases.

Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumours may potentially be more susceptible to macrophage-based therapies, and clues behind why these tumours don't respond to existing immunotherapieis in a new Nature Communications paper.
Modifying the physical characteristics of microscopic biomaterials to interact seamlessly with the body’s tissues could unlock safer and more effective cancer treatments, according to Virginia Tech researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC.
The researchers showed that when curcumin is intentionally given to bacteria as food and then activated by light, it can trigger deleterious reactions within these microbes, eventually killing them. This process, they demonstrated, reduces the number of antibiotic-resistant strains and renders conventional antibiotics effective again.
