Academic Press Ionizing Radiation and the Immune Response - Part A: Volume 376 (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Volume 376)

Ionizing Radiation and the Immune Response, Volume 376, Part A reviews the latest updates on the immune response induced by ionizing radiations. Sections discuss NK functions in radio-induced immune response, TRT and immune response, Radio-induced immune response and lipid metabolism, Effect of protons and heavy ions on immune response, Effect of flashtherapy and mini beam on immune response, Radio-induced lymphopenia, CT to potentiate radio-induced immune response, Impact of RT on healthy tissues (inflammation), Radio-induced macrophagic response, To use nanoparticles and ionizing radiations to modulate immune response: opinion of the chemist, biologist and clinician, and more. Additional sections touch on the Effect of low dose radiation on radio-induced immune response, Role of Dendritic cells in radiation-induced immune response, Relationship between the tumor microenvironment and the efficacy of the radiotherapy/immunotherapy combination+A23, and Biomarkers of radiation induced response to optimize radio-immunotherapy combination. Covers the latest insights on the biological and physical parameters that modulate radio-induced immune response Provides an accurate review by selected experts of the impact on the immune response of new techniques delivering ionizing radiations Presents valuable information to clinicians to optimize radiotherapy and immunotherapy combinations
