CELL PRESS SELECTIONS:
The advent of immunotherapy is changing the landscape of cancer treatment and the perspective of patients with melanoma and other types of advanced tumors that were, until very recently, deemed untreatable. New modalities of therapy that mobilize immune response are being developed and already show promising results in pre-clinical settings. The papers in this collection showcase trends and cutting-edge technologies at the forefront of research in immunology and immuno-oncology that are helping scientists visualize immune and cancer cells in action, understand their dynamic behavior within the tumor microenvironment, and discover mechanisms that can point to new drug targets or improvements to current therapies.
