TLDR
A paradigm shift in the treatment of selected B-cell malignancies is anticipated, moving from targeting primarily the malignant cells toward combining cytotoxic drugs with agents that interfere with the microenvironment's proactive role.

Synergism of IL10R and TLR9 signaling affects gene expression, proliferation and metabolism in B cells: A comparative study of STAT3/NF-kB and c-Myc mediated effects

Maren Feist
TL;DR: A new role for IL10R and TLR9 signaling and the interaction of STAT3 and NF-kB signaling in gGE, proliferation and metabolism of B cells was identified that might also be important for lymphomagenesis.

CAM-DR: Mechanisms, Roles and Clinical Application in Tumors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main signal transduction pathways that are involved in the enhancement of the cancer cells' survival are discussed, and therapies targeting interactions between cancer cells and their environment to enhance drug response or prevent the emergence of drug resistance are also discussed.

Molecular signatures in the diagnosis and management of follicular lymphoma.

TL;DR: Recent insights into follicular lymphoma identify constitutional and environmental predisposition further unravelling the concept of a lymphoma-initiating cell and the acquired events defining this disease.

Stromal Fibroblasts Present in Invasive Human Breast Carcinomas Promote Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis through Elevated SDF-1/CXCL12 Secretion

TL;DR: Using a coimplantation tumor xenograft model, it is demonstrated that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts extracted from human breast carcinomas promote the growth of admixed breast carcinoma cells significantly more than do normal mammaries derived from the same patients.

Macrophages: Obligate Partners for Tumor Cell Migration, Invasion, and Metastasis

TL;DR: Macrophages within the tumor microenvironment facilitate angiogenesis and extracellular-matrix breakdown and remodeling and promote tumor cell motility and are an important drug target for cancer therapy.

Conditions controlling the proliferation of haemopoietic stem cells in vitro.

TL;DR: A liquid culture system is described whereby proliferation of haemopoietic stem cells, production of granulocyte precursor cells (CFU‐C), and extensive granulopoiesis can be maintained in vitro for several months.

Maintenance of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pool by CXCL12-CXCR4 Chemokine Signaling in Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Niches

TL;DR: It is shown that the induced deletion of CXCR4, a receptor for CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 12 in adult mice, resulted in severe reduction of HSC numbers and increased sensitivity to myelotoxic injury, although it did not impair expansion of the more mature progenitors.
