Tumour-associated macrophages
Macrophages are tissue resident phagocytes that have important roles in development and immunity. The observation that cancers become infiltrated by large numbers of macrophages was first made by Virchow in 1863, clinical and experimental studies suggest tumor-associated macroph…
The subject of Tumour-Associated Macrophages is of interest in the cancer research community, and this book promises to be among the first to discuss a definitive theory on the role of macrophage in tumor development.

Macrophages are core components of the innate immune system. Once activated, they may have either pro- or anti-inflammatory effects that include pathogen killing, safe disposal of apoptotic cells or tissue renewal. The activation state of macrophages is conceptualized by the so-…

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is responsible for a variety of diseases in domestic animals and humans. The infection of mice causes similar disease progression to human typhoid fever, thus representing a model for this systemic disease. The ability of S. Typhimurium to…
Changes in the microenvironment have been implicated in the transition of pre-invasive ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer. Normal myoepithelial cells have a tumour suppressor phenotype but they are altered in DCIS and ultimately lost with transition to inv…
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is the aetiological agent of infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), a disease associated with serious economic loss in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The interaction between IPNV and the host is poorly characterised. IPNV has been detec…
First Published in 1988, this book offers a full, comprehensive guide into the relationship between macrophages and Cancer. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes and references this book serves as a useful reference for Students of Medicine, Oncology and …
Dengue, a group of four similar viruses transmitted through the bite of a mosquito, is estimated to infect upwards of 100 million annually in over 100 nations throughout the global equatorial belt. Distribution of global dengue is highly skewed as Southeast Asian and Western Pac…
