  2. 16. 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.

  4. 17. Tumor microenvironment : the paradoxical action of fibroblasts

    Author : Twana Alkasalias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The term tumor refers to an abnormal and pathological tissue characterized by a massive cell growth; it comprises various populations of transformed and malignant cells. These cells cross-communicate with each other and with different types of cells in the surrounding microenvironment. READ MORE

  5. 18. Exploring immunotherapeutic targets in the tumor microenvironment

    Author : Anna-Maria Georgoudaki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system has developed along with the evolution of increasingly complex cellular organisms to sustain homeostasis and protect from threats. Cancer, a detrimental side effect of increasing organismic complexity, typically sequesters the immune system and hijacks its functions for its own prosperity. READ MORE

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects almost all humans and establishes lifelong latency in B cells. Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare but serious complication after transplantation triggered by immunosuppression and often related to EBV infection. READ MORE

  7. 20. Novel methods of malignant brain tumor treatment utilizing the tumor microenvironment

    Author : Jan Kopecky; Neurokirurgi; []

    Abstract : Malignant brain tumors constitute a disaster in the lives of patients, either in the form of extremely low survival in glioblastoma, or the serious long-term adverse effects of therapy in medulloblastoma. These two tumor types represent the most common malignant brain entities in adults and children, respectively. READ MORE
