Proinflammatory cytokines (eg, TNF-[alpha], IL-6) released by HIV-infected immunocytes, or by the adipocytes themselves when exposed to these HIV-infected cells, may lead to increased apoptosis (programmed cell death). His research focuses on interactions between tumor cells and tumor microenvironmental factors such as components of the extracellular matrix, cytokines and immunocytes, and the involvement of such interactions in tumor progression and metastasis formation. It is widely believed that the stimulation of a greater number of immunocytes at the primary site of infection would provide important benefits for protecting against the majority of human pathogens. |
