This Research Topic is part of the “Methods in Immunology” series. Please submit your article to the Research Topic that best suits the focus of your research. Introduction and general guidelines: This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in Immunology research, with a focus on Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy.

This volume details multiple areas of new and emerging methods to develop the next generation of immunotherapy treatments. Chapters guide readers through analysis and characterisation of the interactions between tumour and immune cells, and cell engineering tools for cancer treatment, to provide a unique and compelling set of techniques instrumental to work with, and engineer, immune cells. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Cancer Immunotherapy: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.

Demystifying the science behind new cancer treatments A clear and accessible guide written in everyday language for nurses and other healthcare professionals A Beginner’s Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments and Cancer Immunotherapy helps readers understand the science behind many of the newer drug treatments for cancer. Assuming only a basic familiarity with cell biology, this easy-to-digest guide describes how our increased understanding of cancer has been translated into the creation of new cancer treatments with a wide range of targets. Gifted communicator and educator Dr. Elaine Vickers helps you understand the mechanisms of a wide range of individual targeted therapies and immunotherapies — enabling you to communicate effectively with your colleagues and patients. Concise chapters explain how new cancer drugs and immunotherapies work, discuss their benefits, identify their limitations, and more. Now in its second edition, this popular handbook is fully revised to reflect the latest developments in targeted drug therapies and immunotherapies. Entirely new chapters on advancements in various immunotherapies are accompanied by more than 100 new and updated color illustrations. Provides an up-to-date overview of relevant treatment targets for all major cancer types, including hematological cancers Describes cancer biology and the relationship between cancer and the immune system Offers valuable insights into cell communication pathways as a common target Covers small molecule drugs, antibody-based treatments, and cellular therapies, including novel immunotherapies A Beginner’s Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments and Cancer Immunotherapy is a must-have resource for trainees, practicing nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of cancer patients, as well as non-specialists who encounter cancer data or cancer terminology in their field.

We are now entering the third decade of the 21st century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the rapidly growing fields of bioengineering and biotechnology. This annual collection, which highlights article submissions from our Editorial Board members, looks to explore new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Nanobiotechnology. The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the nanobiotechnology field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers. This collection is part of the 'Insights In' series which has been launched in each section of the journal.
