An appetizer can stimulate immune cells' appetite, a boon for cancer treatments.

Macrophages exposed to low levels of 'eat me' antibodies consume more later.

The results present a new way to increase the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies that harness macrophages to combat the disease.

Monoclonal antibodies are currently used in many different cancer therapies.

Macrophages actually have two versions of the Fc receptor: One promotes their appetite while the other inhibits it.

Bond and Morrissey 's results suggest multiple, small doses of antibody therapy will be more effective than a single large dose.
