Description
Summary:This volume, part of the International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology series, delves into the intersection of ionizing radiation and the immune response. It explores the dual impact of radiation therapy on immune responses, focusing on radio-induced lymphopenia and the integration of radiotherapy with natural killer (NK) cell-based therapies. The book examines the role of dendritic cells and the effects of targeted radionuclide therapy, alongside the opportunities and challenges of using low-dose radiation to enhance immunotherapy efficacy. It also covers recent advances in targeting suppressor cells within radiotherapy contexts. Edited by Celine Mirjolet and Lorenzo Galluzzi, the book is intended for researchers and professionals in oncology and immunotherapy, providing insights into the latest developments and applications in the field.
