cancer-immunology

2 articles

Cancer immunology explores how the immune system recognizes and responds to tumor cells, forming the basis for immunotherapy approaches that harness immune mechanisms to fight cancer. In plant science, this field intersects with the study of bioactive plant compounds that can modulate immune pathways, offering a rich area of investigation for identifying natural molecules with potential anti-tumor or immune-stimulating properties. Researchers study how phytochemicals interact with immune checkpoints, cytokine signaling, and cell-mediated responses, bridging traditional botanical knowledge with modern oncology.
