Recent Application of Nanotechnology for Cancer Immunotherapy and Its Future Prospects

Ashok H Akabari, Sagarkumar Patel, Nikita Vaghela, Vinod Ramani and Dhiren P Shah

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: 2023/08/05

Nanotechnology means measurements estimated by nanometers or one-billionth of a meter- - to make structures, medical devices, gadgets and frameworks for medical, clinical and other uses, such as disease diagnosis. Cancer immunotherapy uses medications or drugs to help a patient's immune system fight cancer, as opposed to chemotherapy, which uses drugs to directly kill cancer cells, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)....

Understanding the Role of Lymphocytes in Vitiligo

Sherif S Awad, MD, PhD and Enas Tadros, MBBS, MSc

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: December 04, 2021

Lymphocytes are cells within the immune system that originate in the bone marrow (B lymphocytes) or thymus (T lymphocytes). It was thought that lymphocytes are not implied in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, but now we can confirm that T cell response rather than B cell humoral immune response is essential in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Data were collected from the most recent and relevant manuscripts to clarify the role of lymphocytes in vitiligo with the most updated publications. Melanocyte-sp...
