1. From a Road Less Travelled to a Worn Path: Three-Dimensional Tumour Models for Cancer Research and Therapeutics
Abstract : Cancer is the second leading cause of death among both men and women worldwide. During therecent years, three-dimensional (3D) tumour models have gained increasing interest as a pre-clinicalplatform for screening of compounds for potential use in cancer therapy. READ MORE

2. Characterizing the pancreatic "isletome" : 3D optical imaging to study diabetes
Abstract : The pancreas is a specialised multipurpose organ, that can be separated into two major compartments: endocrine and exocrine. The exocrine part makes up the majority of the organ volume and functions to secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine. READ MORE

3. Inverse Mathematical Models for Brain Tumour Growth
Abstract : We study the following well-established model of reaction-diffusion type for brain tumour growth:This equation describes the change over time of the normalised tumour cell density u as a consequence of two biological phenomena: proliferation and diffusion.We discuss a mathematical method for the inverse problem of locating the brain tumour source (origin) based on the reaction-diffusion model.

4. Investigation of tumour/stroma crosstalk in pancreatic cancer by an advanced 3D co-culture model
Abstract : Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies all over the world. This dire situation is mainly attributable to the dense desmoplasia in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and almost complete resistance to conventional chemotherapy. READ MORE

5. Preoperative local staging of prostate cancer : aspects on predictive models, magnetic resonance imaging and interdisciplinary teamwork
Abstract : In prostate cancer surgery the two issues at stake are the removal of the tumour on one hand and functional outcome i.e. urinary continence and sexual function on the other. READ MORE
