Over three days of talks, discussions and exchanges under the theme “Neural and Immune Codes in Cancer”, one principle linked them all: tumours do not exist in isolation. Cancer cells interact constantly with their surroundings, including immune cells, blood vessels and nerves, and respond to signals from near and afar. Understanding these interactions could change how we prevent and treat cancer.

A Fundação Champalimaud pretende recrutar Enfermeiros para integrar a Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria.

Sobre a Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria

A Unidade de Neuropsiquiatria constitui uma interface singular entre o Centro Clínico e a Champalimaud Research. É uma estrutura clínica de excelência dedicada ao diagnóstico e tratamento em saúde mental e comportamental, focando-se em áreas particulares de intervenção que se encontram em continuidade com a investigação desenvolvida na Fundação Champalimaud.

A conference to promote dialogue and explore every stage of the breast cancer journey

‘Breast Cancer 360º: From Prevention to Longevity’, opened with Leonor Beleza, President of the CF, highlighting the importance of addressing not only the disease itself, but also the uncertainty and concerns experienced by people facing a diagnosis or the possibility of developing breast cancer. Prevention and longevity emerged as key themes, reflecting the need to help people live well before, during and beyond treatment.

Abstract

Although the brain has been historically considered to be devoid of immune cells, we have contributed to studies demonstrating that central nervous system (CNS) border tissues, particularly the dura mater, house a diverse network of immune cells. These border immune cells can respond to circulating cues and have unexpected connections with the gastrointestinal tract.
