OverviewAI-generated summary
Shelby N. Bess's research investigates the role of macrophages in cancer immunotherapy and the development of tumor models. Bess has explored autofluorescence imaging of metabolic cofactors in macrophages stimulated with cytokines and quantified changes in macrophage function and metabolic NADH autofluorescence during tumor cell phagocytosis. A recent publication examined macrophage-targeted anti-CCL2 immunotherapy, enhancing tumor sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil in a murine colon carcinoma model using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Bess also contributed to work on the physiological and therapeutic role of CD47 in macrophage function and cancer, as well as scaffold-free development of multicellular tumor spheroids with spatial characterization of metabolic profiles. Further research includes live-cell imaging of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and minimally invasive endoscopic monitoring of colitis in mice. Bess's work has resulted in 18 publications and 54 citations, with an h-index of 5.
