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.”
