TLDR
Tumors of epithelioma are composed of two discrete but interdependent compartments: the malignant cells themselves and the stroma that they induce and in which they are dispersed.

Circulating tumor cell enrichment based on physical properties.

TL;DR: Intrinsic physical properties of CTCs, including cell size, deformability, and electrical properties, are reviewed, and technologies developed to exploit them for enrichment from blood are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix changes induced by transglutaminase 2 lead to inhibition of angiogenesis and tumor growth

TL;DR: Administration of active TG2 to two different in vitro angiogenesis assays resulted in the accumulation of a complex extracellular matrix leading to the suppression of endothelial tube formation without causing cell death, leading to a new approach to solid tumor therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor endothelial marker 1 (Tem1) functions in the growth and progression of abdominal tumors

TL;DR: Data indicate that the stroma can control tumor aggressiveness and that this control varies with anatomic site, which has significant implications for the mechanisms underlying tumor invasiveness and for models that evaluate this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibroblast activation protein: A potential therapeutic target in cancer.

TL;DR: Fiberroblast activation protein, a member of the serine protease family, selectively expressed in the stromal fibroblasts associated with epithelial cancers, whereas with low or undetectable expression in the resting fibro Blasts of normal adult tissues, is a potential target for novel anticancer therapies, such as those by immune-based approaches.

Pathologic basis of disease

TL;DR: The objective is to establish an experimental procedure and show direct AFM progression from EMT to EMT using a simple, straightforward, and reproducible procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor cells secrete a vascular permeability factor that promotes accumulation of ascites fluid.

TL;DR: Tumor ascites fluids from guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice contain activity that rapidly increases microvascular permeability, and this activity is secreted by these tumor cells and a variety of other tumor cell lines in vitro.

Plasminogen activators, tissue degradation, and cancer.

TL;DR: This chapter describes two types of plasminogen activators—namely, the urokinase-type plasMinogen activator (u-PA) and the tissue- type plasmineg activator(t-PA), which are essentially different gene products.

The role of the macrophage in wound repair. A study with hydrocortisone and antimacrophage serum.

TL;DR: The role of the macrophage in wound repair has been investigated by studying the healing process in wounds depleted of this cell and/or its phagocytic activity as discussed by the authors, where hydrocortisone acetate administered as a subcutaneous depot was used to induce a prolonged monocytopenia in guinea pigs, and antimacrophage serum (AMS) was used for local elimination of tissue macrophages.
