1. Type IV collagen in breast and colorectal cancer : a potential biomarker of metastatic disease
Sammanfattning : Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic breast cancer (mBC) are two leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early detection of metastatic disease is critical, and sensitive, easily accessed and cost-effective biomarkers that can diagnose mBC and mCRC at an early stage would have high clinical value.

2. Prostate cancer and bone cell interactions : implications for metastatic growth and therapy
Sammanfattning : The skeleton is the most common site of prostate cancer bone metastasis, and at present, there are no curable treatments for these patients. To further understand what stimulates tumor cell growth in the bone microenvironment and to find suitable therapies, reliable model systems are needed. LÄS MER
3. The role of stroma-derived substances in breast cancer progression and their function as tumour markers
Sammanfattning : Background: In 2020, more than 2,260,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Most patients are cured with surgery and adjuvant treatment, but despite that, approximately 700,000 women die of the disease every year. The historical focus on breast cancer progression has been on the malignant epithelial cell. LÄS MER
4. Wnt-5a Signalling in Human Mammary Cells: Implications for the Development of Breast Cancer
Sammanfattning : The Wnt-5a gene encodes a secreted protein that regulates several normal processes in embryonic and adult tissues by as yet unknown mechanisms. Expression of Wnt-5a protein does not cause cell transformation, but it instead counteracts the effects induced by transforming Wnts. LÄS MER
5. Stromal components and micro-RNAs as biomarkers in pancreatic cancer
Sammanfattning : Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have the poorest 5-year survival rates of all cancer forms. It is difficult to diagnose at early disease stages, tumour relapse after surgery is common, and current chemotherapies are ineffective. LÄS MER
