James P. Crowley: How immune system fights cancer and how tumors evade attack

James P. Crowley, Professor of Medicine Emeritus at Brown University, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Observable Interactions:

We can watch T-cells “hunt” cancer cells in real-time.

Controlled Environment:

Researchers manipulate conditions to study different scenarios.

Complex Behaviors:

Both systems reveal intricate social dynamics and survival strategies.

Why It Matters:

This “cellular ant farm” helps us understand how our immune system fights cancer and how tumors evade attack.

It’s a crucial tool for developing more effective immunotherapies.”

James P. Crowley is a Professor of Medicine Emeritus at Brown University and serves as a volunteer physician at the Rhode Island Free Clinic.
