Cancer still poses a significant challenge in healthcare since traditional treatments often fail to produce desired results and patient outcomes. Conventional therapies, like chemotherapy and radiation, can have substantial side effects and may not always be able to eliminate cancer cells. Moreover, the heterogeneity of tumors and individual responses to treatment create barriers to achieving consistent and long-lasting outcomes. Critical Developments in Cancer Immunotherapy offers a compelling solution to these challenges by delving into the cutting-edge field of cancer immunotherapy. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the latest advancements in harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer. Focusing on critical strategies like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy, the book provides insights into novel approaches that offer greater precision and effectiveness in cancer treatment.
Microbial biotechnology is an important area that promotes advanced research into using microbes for value-added products, human nutrition, and the overall wellbeing of society.

Effective Techniques for Bioinformatic Exploration brings new clarity to the world of bioinformatics, offering a comprehensive solution to the challenges scholars face. Through its meticulously crafted chapters, this book provides a struct...
Accumulating evidence reveals both local and peripheral immune systems participated in the pathophysiology changes of acute and chronic neurological diseases. Immune cell activation facilitates inflammatory response in neurological diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The immune response initiated by brain local cells (microglia and astrocytes) and peripheral blood cells (monocytes/macrophages, neutrophil, T cells, B cells), are now commonly thought to contribute “double-edged sword” effects to the progression of neurological diseases, which not only promoting repair and recovery, but also accelerating brain injury. Meanwhile, local and peripheral immune responses have complex crosstalk in the development of post-stroke injury and neurodegeneration disease.
Primary liver cancer (PLC), including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and other rare tumors, is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Of all primary liver cancer, HCC is the most common type. Evidence has accumulated that the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in fostering or restraining tumor development. The tumor microenvironment (TME), which includes molecular, cellular, extracellular matrix(ECM), and vascular signaling pathways, is a complex ecosystem. The interaction between the tumor microenvironment and cancer cells can enhance the malignant properties of tumors, including proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and therapy resistance. In addition, the tumor microenvironment can also lead to abnormal angiogenesis and promote immunosuppression. HCC has been resistant to targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, further study of the tumor microenvironment of HCC may be helpful for the development of therapeutic methods for HCC.
This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic "Coping With Life Stress". Please see the first volume here. Existing studies on coping with stress and life difficulties are very contradictory. Traditional approaches, while identifying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of coping, often confuse the modality of the strategy with its functionality and outcome. This conceptual drawback presents quite a few challenges to the study of efficient and inefficient strategies. Perception of the incongruence between modalities (cognitive, emotional, or behavioral) of a particular strategy and its functionality or organizational efforts (efficient vs. inefficient) hinders the de...
