    Keywords : junction; claudin; ovarian surface epithelium; epithelial ovarian tumor; TGF-?1;

    Abstract : Epithelial ovarian cancer originating from ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is the most lethal type of gynecological cancer among women worldwide. The poor understanding of the cellular and molecular events associated with ovarian carcinogenesis leads to difficulties in early diagnosis and in efficient treatment. READ MORE

  6. 4. To kill two birds with one stone : targeting myeloid cells in cancers

    Author : Yumeng Mao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer progression is often accompanied by chronic inflammation and severe impairment of the immune system. In recent years, therapies eliciting tumor-specific immunity have resulted in striking tumor control and survival benefits in cancer patients. READ MORE

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The treatment of disease in cancer patients by harnessing the potent mechanisms that exist within the immune system is not a novel approach, and has been first attempted more than a century ago. During the major part of this century cancer immunotherapy has been relegated to the periphery of standard care for patients. READ MORE
