Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging in the era of molecular oncology

TL;DR: Advances in experimental and clinical imaging are likely to improve how cancer is understood at a systems level and should enable doctors not only to locate tumours but also to assess the activity of the biological processes within these tumours and to provide 'on the spot' treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of splenic reservoir monocytes and their deployment to inflammatory sites

TL;DR: It is shown that bona fide undifferentiated monocytes reside in the spleen and outnumber their equivalents in circulation and identifies splenic monocytes as a resource that the body exploits to regulate inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The healing myocardium sequentially mobilizes two monocyte subsets with divergent and complementary functions

TL;DR: This work identifies two distinct phases of monocyte participation after MI and proposes a model that reconciles the divergent properties of these cells in healing and identifies new therapeutic targets that can influence healing and ventricular remodeling after MI.
Journal ArticleDOI

The intestinal microbiota modulates the anticancer immune effects of cyclophosphamide

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cyclophosphamide alters the composition of microbiota in the small intestine and induces the translocation of selected species of Gram-positive bacteria into secondary lymphoid organs, which suggests that the gut microbiota help shape the anticancer immune response.
