Collection Overview

Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most exciting areas of research and cancer treatment. Different types of cancer immunotherapies share a common goal of promoting anti-tumor immune response. Direct delivery of immunostimulatory particles into the tumor microenvironment specifically aims to augment the anti-tumor immunity within the generally immunosuppressive environment. Particles containing Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor agonists and cytokines are some examples. This collection of methods aims to bring together articles that share both common and innovative approaches in designing and constructing novel immunostimulatory particles and studying these immunostimulatory particles in clinical correlative studies and in vitro or in vivo model systems.
