TLDR
In vivo multiphoton laser-scanning microscopy of the entire brain metastatic cascade allowed unprecedented insights into how blood clot formation and von Willebrand factor deposition determine the arrest of circulating cancer cells and subsequent brain colonization in mice, discovering a novel and specific mechanism that is crucial for brain colonization.

The Manifold Cellular Functions of von Willebrand Factor.

TL;DR: The plasma glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) is exclusively synthesized in endothelial cells (ECs) and megakaryocytes, the precursor cells of platelets as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast cancer cells mediate endothelial cell activation, promoting von Willebrand factor release, tumor adhesion, and transendothelial migration

TL;DR: In a model of melanoma, treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) negatively regulated VWF secretion and attenuated tumor metastasis, and elevated plasma VWF levels constitute an independent biomarker for VTE risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating tumor cell-blood cell crosstalk: Biology and clinical relevance.

TL;DR: In this article , the potential clinical relevance of these interactions as biomarkers or as targets for anti-metastatic therapies was discussed, as well as potential clinical significance of the interactions between CTCs and different hematopoietic cells.

The microenvironment of brain metastases from solid tumors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss unique aspects of the TME in the context of brain metastases and pathways through which they may hold the key to the discovery of new and effective therapies for patients with brain metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Immune Microenvironment of Brain Metastases: Toward Unlocking Antitumor Immunity

TL;DR: In this article , the role of glial cells in the central nervous system immune response to brain metastasis is discussed. But the authors do not discuss the clinical landscape of ICI activity in the CNS and CNS immunobiology.

Fiji: an open-source platform for biological-image analysis

TL;DR: Fiji is a distribution of the popular open-source software ImageJ focused on biological-image analysis that facilitates the transformation of new algorithms into ImageJ plugins that can be shared with end users through an integrated update system.
Journal ArticleDOI

QuPath: Open source software for digital pathology image analysis

TL;DR: QuPath provides researchers with powerful batch-processing and scripting functionality, and an extensible platform with which to develop and share new algorithms to analyze complex tissue images, making it suitable for a wide range of additional image analysis applications across biomedical research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of platelets to tumour metastasis.

TL;DR: Contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time imaging reveals the single steps of brain metastasis formation.

TL;DR: It was possible to track the fate of individual metastasizing cancer cells in vivo in relation to blood vessels deep in the mouse brain over minutes to months and provide new insights into their evolution and response to therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain tumour cells interconnect to a functional and resistant network

TL;DR: It is shown that many tumour cells in astrocytomas extend ultra-long membrane protrusions, and use these distinct tumour microtubes as routes for brain invasion, proliferation, and to interconnect over long distances, which develops functional multicellular network structures.
