  2. 1. Lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis

    Author : Meit A Björndahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; lymphangiogenesis; lymphatic metastasis; PDGF; IGF; VEGF-A;

    Abstract : The major cause of cancer mortality is metastasis, which relies on the growth of blood vessels (haemangiogenesis) and lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis). Whereas the field of haemangiogenesis has been relatively thoroughly studied, little is known about the mechanisms regulating lymphangiogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of the lymph node stroma in cancer and aging

    Author : Tove Bekkhus; Maria H. Ulvmar; Timothy P. Padera; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lymph node; Stroma; High endothelial venule HEV ; Lymphatic endothelial cells LECs ; Breast cancer; Metastasis; Lipomatosis; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The function of the lymph node (LN) stroma is crucial for the induction of an adaptive immune response. The stroma includes lymphatic vessels, high endothelial venules (HEVs) and mesenchymal cells (MCs). In this thesis, I have been investigating the role of the LN stroma in cancer and aging. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hem- and lymph-angiogenesis in cancer metastasis

    Author : Hong Ji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the process of sprouting new microvessels from the preexisting vasculature, is known to promote tumor growth. However, the role of tumor angiogenic vessels in facilitating metastasis remains poorly understood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of tumor microenvironment in promoting metastasis

    Author : Patrik Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumor tissues contain diverse cell populations that relentlessly cross-communicate with each other in the tumor microenvironment. In addition to malignant cells, infiltration of other host cells including inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and cells in the vessel walls in tumors significantly contribute to tumor growth and metastasis.
