  6. 4. Targeting stromal components in the tumor microenvironment for cancer therapy

    Author : Jieyu Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the tumor microenvironment (TME), different cell components crosstalk with each other through various growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes. They offered crucial survival signals for tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metabolic and endocrine function of human adipose tissue with focus on regional differences

    Author : Vanessa van Harmelen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : acylation stimulating protein; adipocytes; adipose tissue heterogeneity; adrenoceptors; insulin; leptin; lipogenesis; lipolysis; noradrenaline; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; preadipocytes; tumour necrosis factor-cc;

    Abstract : The major function of human adipose tissue is to store excess ingested energy and to release free fatty acids after hydrolysis of triglycerides (lipolysis), to meet the energy demands of other organs. Adipose tissue also has a secretory function. READ MORE
