  2. 1. Function of Innate Immune Cells in Breast Cancer

    Author : Fríða Björk Gunnarsdóttir; Malmö Cancerimmunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tumor associated macrophages; Breast cancer; Estrogen receptor alpha; FOXO3a; CD169; PD-L1; metastatic lymph node;

    Abstract : Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are key cells in creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). In general, presence of TAMs is associated with worse outcome in cancer patients. Macrophages with anti-tumor effect can be found in the TME but are usually in minority. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. The impact of the progranulin-sortilin axis on breast cancer stem cell activity and patient outcome
