OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Molecular and spatial control of tumor-associated macrophages
In person
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer marked by severe immune suppression and abnormal inflammation that promote tumor growth. Recent research identified IL-1b+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) as a subset that drives inflammatory changes and influences nearby tumor cells. Using spatial gene expression analysis we explored the physical distribution and local interactions of IL-1b+ TAMs and within human PDAC tissue. The findings revealed distinct clustering of immune and non-immune cells into specific multicellular hubs, suggesting potential immune-mediated pathways that could be targeted for therapeutic strategies.
