The adaptive immune resistance (AIR) mechanism refers to the various strategies employed by tumours to adapt and ultimately to overcome immune attack. The AIR mechanism was firstly identified in the selective induction of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PDL1) by interferon gamma of tumors. The inhibition of adaptive immune resistance underlies the responses to PD-1 or PD-L1–blocking antibodies, and may have relevance for the development of other cancer immunotherapy strategies. Therefore, identifying specific AIR mechanisms is of great significance to develop novel drugs and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment. In this research topic, we aim to generate a collection of articles that discuss the AIR mechanisms, the classification of AIRs, and the current and future cancer therapy strategies based on AIR. Of particular, these articles can focus on exploring the AIR mechanisms in different cancer types and further identify the association between AIR and tumour microenvironment (TME).
One of the most significant transformations of the Roman world in Late Antiquity was the integration of barbarian peoples into the social, cultural, religious, and political milieu of the Mediterranean world. The nature of these transformations was considered at the sixth biennial Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity Conference, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in March of 2005, and this volume presents an updated selection of the papers given on that occasion, complemented with a few others,. These 25 studies do much to break down old stereotypes about the cultural and social segregation of Roman and barbarian populations, and demonstrate that, contrary to the past orthodox...
