  2. 1. Tumor Stroma in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma : Interstitial Collagen and Tumor Interstitial Fluid Pressure

    Author : Ellen Lammerts; Lucio Nitsch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Collagen I synthesis; Fibrosis; Tumor - stroma interactions; PDGF; TGF-β; Inhibitor; Cell cycle; Tumor growth; Hyaluronan; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; medicinsk biokemi;

    Abstract : Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an aggressive malignancy in man with stromal fibrosis as one of the main features. Carcinoma cells synthesized no or little collagen I protein. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tumor-stroma interactions in hepatocellular carcinoma

    Author : Nataša Pavlović; Femke Heindryckx; Jessica Maiers; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hepatocellular carcinoma; fibrosis; endoplasmic reticulum stress; unfolded protein response; platelets; P2Y12; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a highly deadly primary liver cancer with a rising global incidence and limited therapeutic options, is characterized by a vicious cross-talk between the tumor and its surrounding hepatic stroma. The stromal environment, consisting of hepatic stellate cells (HSC), endothelial cells, resident and infiltrating macrophages and other immune cells, platelets and extracellular matrix (ECM) components, actively contributes to creating an ideal niche for tumor proliferation and invasiveness.

  5. 3. Interactions between Malignant Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts : Studies in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Author : Malin Hakelius; Daniel Nowinski; Bengt Gerdin; Kristofer Rubin; Avni Abdiu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coculture; extracellular matrix; interleukin-1 alpha; tumor stroma; differential gene regulation; innate response; Plastic Surgery; Plastikkirurgi;

    Abstract : Carcinoma growth requires a supportive tumor stroma. The concept of reciprocal interactions between tumor and stromal cells has become widely acknowledged and the connective tissue activation seen in the malignant process has been likened to that of a healing wound. READ MORE

  6. 4. High Content Analysis of Proteins and Protein Interactions by Proximity Ligation

    Author : Karl-Johan Leuchowius; Ola Söderberg; Ulf Landegren; Paul Goldsmith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; in situ; proximity ligation; flow cytometry; high content screening; rolling circle amplification; in situ PLA; single-cell; single-molecule; protein interactions; drug screening; post-translational modifications; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Fundamental to all biological processes is the interplay between biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Studies of interactions should therefore be more informative than mere detection of expressed proteins. Preferably, such studies should be performed in material that is as biologically and clinically relevant as possible, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Stromal and tumor cell responses to hypoxia and treatment within the glioma microenvironment

    Author : Vasiliki Pantazopoulou; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; glioblastoma; tumor microenvironment; reactive astrocytes; hypoxia; CD44; p75NTR;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Despite treatment, tumors invariably recur, and the recurring tumor is resistant to therapies. New approaches are needed for the successful treatment of glioblastoma patients.Tumors are not simply a compilation of molecularly and phenotypically identical neoplastic cells. READ MORE
