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.

Tumour-associated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells: emerging therapeutic targets

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenic role of TA-MSCs in regulating the survival, proliferation, migration and drug resistance of tumour cells, as well as the influence of MSCs on the immune status of the tumour microenvironment are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells: a coalition against cancer therapies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem cells in the progression of breast cancer and therapy resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutically exploiting STAT3 activity in cancer - using tissue repair as a road map.

TL;DR: The tumour-modulating activities of STAT3 are reviewed in light of its role as a signalling node integrating inflammatory responses during wound healing, and how excessive signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation within cancer cells and cells of the tumour microenvironment can be viewed as a neoplastic mimic of an inflammation-driven repair response that promotes tumour progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stromal biology of pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: This review attempts to define key challenges, opportunities and state‐of‐knowledge relating to the PDAC microenvironment research with an emphasis on how inflammatory processes and key cancer pathways may shape the ontogeny of the tumor stroma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory cell infiltration of tumors : Jekyll or Hyde

TL;DR: The role of tumor infiltrating, myeloid-monocytic cells, and T lymphocytes are discussed, as well as their potential for tumor control, immunosuppression, and facilitation of metastasis.

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 biology of platelet-derived growth factor

TL;DR: The biology of platelet derived growth factor, it will really give you the good idea to be successful.

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.
