OverviewAI-generated summary

Shelby N. Bess's research investigates the function and metabolic activity of immune cells, particularly macrophages, in the context of cancer and inflammation. Their work utilizes advanced imaging techniques, such as autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, to quantitatively assess cellular processes. Publications explore the role of specific molecules like CCL2 and CD47 in modulating the tumor microenvironment and enhancing the efficacy of cancer therapies. Bess has also studied the development of multicellular tumor spheroids and their metabolic profiles, alongside the creation of assays for screening gene delivery vehicles for macrophage applications. Collaborations include Timothy J. Muldoon, Matthew J. Igoe, Gaven K. Smart, and Christopher E. Nelson, with whom Bess has co-authored multiple publications.
