  6. 14. Anti-Tumor Effects of CysLT2R in Epithelial Cancer

    Author : Cecilia Magnusson; Malmö Cellpatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; migration; Colon cancer; breast cancer; EGF; interferon;

    Abstract : The pro-inflammatory cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are implicated in several pathological disorders, such as asthma and inflammatory diseases. The well-established connection between chronic inflammation and cancer implicates inflammatory mediators in cancer progression. It is therefore of interest to examine the effects of the CysLTs in cancer. READ MORE
