   Sammanfattning : The function of the lymph node (LN) stroma is crucial for the induction of an adaptive immune response. The stroma includes lymphatic vessels, high endothelial venules (HEVs) and mesenchymal cells (MCs). In this thesis, I have been investigating the role of the LN stroma in cancer and aging. LÄS MER

3. 12. Studies of Stroma Formation and Regulation in Human Pathological Conditions and in Experimental in vivo Models

   Författare :Alejandro Rodriguez; Christian Sundberg; Kristian Pietras; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fibrosis; Tumor Stroma; Myofibroblast; Pericyte; Angiogenesis; Inflammation; adenovirus; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Medical Biochemistry; Medicinsk biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : Fibrosis is a sequel of chronic inflammation and is defined as an excessive deposition of collagen that ultimately leads to organ dysfunction. To date there are no effective treatments for fibrosis. The main cell type involved in collagen deposition and organization is the myofibroblast. LÄS MER

4. 13. Growth factor signaling in the breast tumor microenvironment

   Författare :Matteo Bocci; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Tumor microenvironment; Angiogenesis; Cancer-associated fibroblasts; PDGF-C; ALK1;

   Sammanfattning : Cancer represents a collection of malignancies characterized by an aberrant expansion of cells. This unrestrained growth is the result of the acquisition of several pro-survival features and the evasion of cellular fail-safe mechanisms, collectively known as the hallmarks of cancer. LÄS MER

5. 14. Cyclooxygenase activity and tumor progression

   Författare :Christian Cahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cyclooxugenase; PGE2; inflammation; cytokine; nitric oxide; indomethacin; IL-6;

   Sammanfattning : Invasive growth of malignant tumors is associated with local and systemic inflammation, which may promote progression and metastases. Inflammation is also responsible for appearing manifestations of advanced cancer as fatigue, anorexia and wasting with eicosanoids, proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide as mediators. LÄS MER

7. 15. Early effects of castration therapy in non-malignant and malignant prostate tissue

   Författare :Nina Ohlson; Pernilla Wikström; Anders Bergh; Pär Stattin; Marja Nevalainen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; human biopsies; androgen ablation; stroma; epithelium; micro-dissection; PSA; IGF-1; IGF-R1; AR; Pathology; Patologi;

   Sammanfattning : Early Effects of Castration Therapy in Non-malignant and Malignant Prostate Tissue BACKGROUND. Androgen ablation, the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer, results in increased apoptosis, decreased cell proliferation and subsequent involution of the prostate gland. LÄS MER
