Immunogenic cancer cell death: a key-lock paradigm.

TLDR
The concept that immunogenic death involves changes in the composition of the cell surface, as well as the release of soluble immunogenic signals that occur in a defined temporal sequence is discussed.

Immunogenic Cell Death in Cancer Therapy

TL;DR: It is postulate that ICD constitutes a prominent pathway for the activation of the immune system against cancer, which in turn determines the long-term success of anticancer therapies and its subversion by pathogens.

Cancer immunotherapy via dendritic cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are an essential target in efforts to generate therapeutic immunity against cancer owing to their ability to control both immune tolerance and immunity.

Immune infiltration in human tumors: a prognostic factor that should not be ignored.

TL;DR: An immune scoring based on the type, density and location of lymphocyte infiltrates as a novel prognostic factor for use in addition to tumor node metastasis staging to predict disease-free survival and to aid in decisions regarding adjuvant therapies in early stage human cancers.

The biochemistry of apoptosis

TL;DR: The basic components of the death machinery are reviewed, how they interact to regulate apoptosis in a coordinated manner is described, and the main pathways that are used to activate cell death are discussed.

Release of chromatin protein HMGB1 by necrotic cells triggers inflammation

TL;DR: It is reported that Hmgb1-/- necrotic cells have a greatly reduced ability to promote inflammation, which proves that the release of HMGB1 can signal the demise of a cell to its neighbours, and cells undergoing apoptosis are programmed to withhold the signal that is broadcast by cells that have been damaged or killed by trauma.

Classification of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death

TL;DR: This study details the 2009 recommendations of the NCCD on the use of cell death-related terminology including ‘entosis’, ‘mitotic catastrophe”,’ ‘necrosis‚ ‘necroptosis‚’ and ‘pyroptotic’.
