Description

Ionizing Radiation and the Immune Response, Part B, Volume 378 reviews the latest knowledge on the immune response induced by ionizing radiations. Specific chapters in this new release include 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 flash therapy 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 much more.

Other sections cover the Role of Dendritic cells in radiation-induced immune response, the Relationship between the tumor microenvironment and the efficacy of the radiotherapy/immunotherapy combination, and Biomarkers of radiation induced response to optimize radio-immunotherapy combination.

Key features

  • Covers the latest insights about the biological parameters modulating radio-induced immune response
  • Provides an accurate review by selected experts of the impact on the immune response of radio-enhancer nanoparticles or chemotherapy targeting immunosuppressive immune cells
  • Presents valuable information to clinicians to optimize radiotherapy and immunotherapy combinations

Readership

Radiation biologist, radiation oncologist and immunologists interested to use ionizing radiation to improve combination with immunotherapy

Celine Mirjolet

Dr. Céline Mirjolet is a radiobiologist with in-depth knowledge of the impact of radiotherapy fractionation on the radiation-induced immune response and on the effectiveness of the radiotherapy and immunotherapy combination. She obtained a doctorate in radiobiology at the anti-cancer center of Nancy (France). She then moved to Brussels at the University of Belgium to study epigenetic mechanisms in transcriptional activity and cancer. For ten years, she has been working in the radiotherapy department of the Dijon cancer center in close collaboration with clinicians and physicists to develop translational research projects on the combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy. She leads the preclinical research team in radiotherapy and radiobiology and her programs focus on the validation of preclinical concepts leading to the design of clinical trials.
