  • The efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in hematologic malignancies can in large part be attributed to a graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect, by which the donor immune system achieves immunologic control of the tumor. (mhmedical.com)
  • release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), is induced by tissue damage from the conditioning regimen, activating the host innate immune system ( Fig. 16-1 ). (mhmedical.com)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that attacks myelinated axons in the central nervous system, destroying the myelin and the axon in variable degrees and producing significant physical disability within 20-25 years in more than 30% of patients. (medscape.com)
  • Molecular Components of the Immune System The immune system consists of cellular components and molecular components that work together to destroy antigens (Ags). (msdmanuals.com)
  • See also Overview of the Immune System. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The immune system also has the capacity to recognize and destroy. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Rheumatoid arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disorder, one of a large group of conditions that occur when the immune system attacks the body's own tissues and organs. (medlineplus.gov)
  • In people with rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system triggers abnormal inflammation in the membrane that lines the joints (the synovium). (medlineplus.gov)
  • Most of these genes are known or suspected to be involved in immune system function. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Often diagnosed in a delayed fashion owing to nonspecific symptoms and inconsistent screening, the lethality of this immune-related toxicity has at least three different causes. (nature.com)
  • Not all self-antigens are expressed in the central lymphoid organs where the negative selection occurs. (tutorialspoint.com)
  • Indeed, to this day, it is perceived by many that a vigorous bout of exercise can temporarily suppress immune function. (frontiersin.org)
  • We emphasize that it is a misconception to label any form of acute exercise as immunosuppressive, and, instead, exercise most likely improves immune competency across the lifespan. (frontiersin.org)
  • Initiation of ART during acute HIV-1 infection leads to a better control of immune activation than initiation in chronic infection [ 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Prednisone and prednisolone [ 386 ] act powerfully to suppress the inflammation accompanying a rejection crisis, and also appear to reduce the expression of class II histocompatibility antigens, thus reducing the immunogenicity of the transplant. (nanomedicine.com)
  • Its hallmark features include necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and pauci-immune vasculitis in small- and medium-sized blood vessels. (medscape.com)
  • More recently, the successes in the treatment of the notoriously refractory malignant melanoma via the targeting of a specific BRAF mutation and via immune activation represent an unprecedented achievement of this new therapeutic direction. (cancernetwork.com)
  • Drugs using this approach, called immune checkpoint blockade, now are approved for treating late-stage melanoma and lung cancer. (mdanderson.org)
  • In this mini-review we will discuss the latest clinical data from clinical trials for immune-checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of HCC. (stanford.edu)
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors used in treatment of advanced cancers are emerging as one of the important causes for worsening or de novo presentation of MG often associated with myositis and myocarditis and may carry grave prognosis. (medscape.com)
  • However, the tumor microenvironment (TME) imposes different mechanisms that facilitate the impairment of DC functions, such as inefficient antigen presentation or polarization into immunosuppressive DCs. (mdpi.com)
  • Indeed, the behavior of almost all immune cell populations in the bloodstream is altered in some way during and after exercise ( 7 , 8 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • T cell immune protection plays a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. (hindawi.com)
  • However, T cell exhaustion might lead to the possibility of immune escape of hematological malignancies. (hindawi.com)
  • Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) shows a remarkable local control of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastases, partially as a result of host immune status. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Since the pioneering use of 131 I in differentiated thyroid cancer in the 1940s, remarkable achievements in nuclear medicine endoradiotherapy have been demonstrated, mainly in the treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasms by using 177 Lu-labeled somatostatin analogs or in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer using prostate-specific membrane antigen-directed radionuclide therapy. (snmjournals.org)
  • More recently, the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been established as a theranostic target for prostate cancer. (snmjournals.org)
