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.

An EGFR-ERK-SOX9 Signaling Cascade Links Urothelial Development and Regeneration to Cancer

TL;DR: A novel, potentially oncogenic signaling axis linking urothelial injury to UroCa is identified and inhibiting this axis is feasible through a variety of pharmacologic approaches and may have clinical utility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult human mesenchymal stem cells enhance breast tumorigenesis and promote hormone independence

TL;DR: The relationship between tumor microenvironment and tumor growth and the progression to hormone independence are revealed and this tumor stroma-cell interaction may provide a novel target for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive, hormone-independent, and endocrine-resistant breast carcinoma.

Lymphopenia is an Independent Predictor of Inferior Outcome in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma

TL;DR: In 430 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma lymphopenia was associated with lower overall survival independent of pT and TNM stages, nuclear grade, age, tobacco smoking and comorbidity index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glioblastoma cells: a heterogeneous and fatal tumor interacting with the parenchyma.

TL;DR: In this context, it is discussed how the membrane-acting toxins called cytolysins can be a potential new tool for GBM treatment.

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.

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.
