Tumour immunology and immunotherapy

This animation created by Nature Reviews Cancer and Nature Reviews Immunology illustrates how tumour cells are sensed and destroyed by cells of the immune system and how tumours can evolve to evade immune-mediated elimination. Scientists are developing new immunotherapies that help the immune system to ‘fight back’ — the animation explains how these exciting new drugs work.

As a Medical practioneer..I can justify the amount of knowledge provided in such a easy and professional way....I will highly recommend it to my colleague's

If all medical books were replaced by animations like these, medical studies would be less boring, more easy to understand and remember and more attractive.

Awesome video, I really wish there were more animated videos like this one, that they were longer and more in-depth.

[dr.maryamabid]

As a practicing oncologist I must say this is by far the most easy and great animation on Immunotherapy I have watched.

I’m a doctoral student in Molecular Biology, and these animations are beautiful! I’ll be sure to use these with my classes!

keep looking... keep finding... don't give up hope.

Fascinating video.
My only comment: someone should actually make that cancer-fighting version of "Space Invaders".

[eleanorsheekey]

This video is EPIC! Makes much sense of the long list of names and roles of the non-transformed tumour associated cells!

[ahmadalmasri]

This is definitely the best video I watched in all my medicine studies.

[lotfihamoudi]

Thanks for the video and we pray to God to heal all the sick

i cant believe im going to be working with postdocs on cancer research and therapeutics for my research lab placement in my final year of college as a molecular bioscience student! this was really helpful thank you

[carlosfernandocastanedaola]

Thank you so much Nature video. Greetings from Molecular Biology, enviromental and Cancer Research Group (BIMAC) and Bioengineering graduate studies at Universidad del Cauca, Colombia.

Life saver. I have to give a trial lecture on lung cancer and the immune system as part of my PhD defence. This video helped me understand all therapies thereafter. Thank you. Please accept one of my papers for publishing :)

Imagine creating a video game for middle/high school students like the one shown in the video. Science integration in animations and games is truly an effective way to boost ones understanding of the concept!

سبحانك ربي ما أبدعك، وعلم الإنسان ما لم يعلم.

Each individual's body reaction to medicine and therapy are different. a patient has to try and find the right medicine or combination for the body.

Remember, NK cells and their ability to sense stress-associated molecules came about by chance, as did helper T cells, dendritic cells, cytotoxic T cells, coreceptors, perforin and granzymes. Their obvious design wasn't designed. Never mind the effectively infinite permutations of a string of amino acids that had to be searched to find functional proteins.

Fantastic graphics ! Great job Nucleus Medical Media.

[hanniballi]

I think there is a mislabeled point in video at 3:50. It should be labeled in regulatory T cell not Helper T cell.

Most interesting topic ever. I wish we could someday replace the chemotherapy/radiation totally with modified immunotherapy.
