OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We have evidence that the anti-tumour T cell response can, under certain circumstances, drive structural alterations to the tumour microenvironment (TME) which serve to amplify the immune response leading to tumour destruction. Data will be presented which indicates that changes to the TME are widespread and are characterized by the development of specialised blood vessels named high endothelial venules (HEV), re-organization of lymphatic vessels and loss of extracellular matrix (ECM). How these individual features interact and synergise to create conditions favouring immune-mediated cancer destruction will be discussed along with the pivotal role played by antigen-specific T cells.
