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.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Build and Secure the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the complexities ofCAF-ECM and CAF-cancer cell interactions is necessary before novel therapeutic strategies targeting the malignant tumor “soil” can be successfully implemented in the clinic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular endothelial growth factor

TL;DR: A brief review of the challenges associated with the discovery of VEGF and the early steps in elucidating the role of this molecule in the regulation of angiogenesis is provided in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concise Review: Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Translational Medicine: Emerging Issues

TL;DR: An understanding of the interaction between MSCs and the inflammatory microenvironment will provide critical information in revealing the precise in vivo mechanisms of MSC‐mediated therapeutic effects and designing more practical protocols for clinical use of these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation: a driving force speeds cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: New insights into the molecular pathways that link inflammation in the tumor microenvironment to metastasis are reviewed, focusing on the function of proinflammatory factors, particularly cytokines during tumor metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting metastatic cancer.

TL;DR: A review of recent progress that is enabling therapeutic advances in treating both micro- and macrometastases can be found in this paper, where the authors reveal both the origins and nature of metastases and identify new opportunities for developing more effective strategies to target metastatic relapse and improve patient outcomes.

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.
