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.Abstract:

Simpson,Hanane Laklai,Hikaru Sugimoto,Hikaru Sugimoto,Christoph Kahlert,Christoph Kahlert,Sergey V. Novitskiy,Ana De Jesus-Acosta,Padmanee Sharma,Pedram Heidari,Umar Mahmood,Lynda Chin,Harold L. Moses,Valerie M. Weaver,Anirban Maitra,James P. Allison,Valerie S. LeBleu,Valerie S. LeBleu,Raghu Kalluri,Raghu Kalluri +25 more
TL;DR: Although myofibroblast-depleted tumors did not respond to gemcitabine, anti-CTLA4 immunotherapy reversed disease acceleration and prolonged animal survival, and underscores the need for caution in targeting carcinoma-associated fibroblasts in PDAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friends or foes - bipolar effects of the tumour stroma in cancer.
TL;DR: The restricted view of tumour progression as a multistep process defined by the accumulation of mutations in cancer cells has largely ignored the substantial contribution of the tumour microenvironment to malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiogenesis
Ann Hoeben,Bart Landuyt,Martin Highley,Hans Wildiers,Allan T. van Oosterom,Ernst A. de Bruijn +5 more
TL;DR: The role of V EGF in physiological and pathological processes is reviewed and how modulation of VEGF expression creates new therapeutic possibilities is discussed.
BookDOI
Cardiovascular Disease 2
TL;DR: It is suggested that GPIIb/IIIa receptor blockade as compared with direct inhibition of thrombin, does not inhibit intracellular CaH mobilization signal transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
NF-κB, inflammation, immunity and cancer: coming of age
Koji Taniguchi,Michael Karin +1 more
TL;DR: How the initial discovery of a role for NF-κB in linking inflammation and cancer led to an improved understanding of tumour-elicited inflammation and its effects on anticancer immunity is discussed.

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.
Donald R. Senger,Stephen J. Galli,Ann M. Dvorak,Carole A. Perruzzi,V. Susan Harvey,Harold F. Dvorak +5 more
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.
Keld Danø,Peter A. Andreasen,J Grøndahl-Hansen,Peter Marcus Kristensen,L.S. Nielsen,L. Skriver +5 more
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.
Samuel Leibovich,R. Ross +1 more
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.
