Multifaceted Role of IL-1 in Cancer and Inflammation - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Manisha Singh, PhD, is a trained human and mouse immunologist and during the last 10 years, she has specialized in cancer immunology. The main focus of her work has been to increase the efficacy and understand the molecular mechanisms of various cancer immunotherapies. She is serving as the principal investigator on a 2-year grant ($545,486), having been funded by the US Department of Defense. Dr. Singh's current research is focused on understanding the role of inflammation in immune suppression and resistance to immunotherapy in cancer. Recently, she has submitted the NIH-R01 grant in which she proposed to study the role of IL-1α in immunotherapy induced resistance. She has published 24 peer-reviewed articles and many abstracts in prestigious journals such as Nature Communication, Journal of Immunology, and Journal of Clinical Investigator. Her work has been cited by several prestigious, peer-reviewed, international journals.

Multifaceted Role of IL-1 in Cancer and Inflammation summarizes the existing literature and discusses future perspectives about the role of IL-1 in immune suppression, cancer progression, angiogenesis, and resistance to immunotherapies. It also presents mechanisms to overcome IL-1 mediated immune suppression in tumor microenvironment.

The book covers topics about the source of IL-1 in the tumor microenvironment, IL-1 mediated downstream pathway, mechanism of IL-1 mediated immune suppression in cancer, and its effect on immunotherapy of cancer. Those topics help readers to understand the effect of IL-1 on cancer immunopathology and immunotherapy, and provide them with broader concepts to develop therapies for IL-1 enrichment tumors.

It is a valuable source for cancer researchers, clinicians and other members of biomedical field who wants to learn more about mechanisms to improve outcome of cancer immunotherapies.
