Cancer Research, 2009 Abstract For decades, the complement system has been recognized as an effector arm of the innate immunity system that contributes to the destruction of tumor cells. However, recent studies have challenged this paradigm by demonstrating that a complement component, the anaphylatoxin C5a, promotes the growth of malignant tumors in a mouse ...

Subgraph Complementation [PDF]
Algorithmica, 2020 AbstractA subgraph complement of the graph G is a graph obtained from G by complementing all the edges in one of its induced subgraphs. We study the following algorithmic question: for a given graph G and graph class $${\mathscr {G}}$$G, is there a subgraph complement of G which is in $${\mathscr {G}}$$G?

Natural killer cells in the human lung tumor microenvironment display immune inhibitory functions
Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2020 Background Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in tumor immunosurveillance through their cytotoxic effector functions and their capacity to interact with other immune cells to build a coordinated antitumor immune response.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Primary lung carcinomas and bronchial carcinoid tumors (BC) are very rare malignancies in childhood. While typical BC and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are mostly low‐grade, localized tumors with a more favorable prognosis than in adults, necessitating avoidance of overtreatment, adenocarcinomas of the lung are often diagnosed at advanced disease ...

Clinical Course and Impact of Breaks in Therapy for Children With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric relapsed or refractory (R/R) solid tumors carry a dismal prognosis, and postrelapse patient experiences are not well described. We present postrelapse outcomes, including number of R/R events and subsequent therapy regimens.
