1. Lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis
Sammanfattning : The major cause of cancer mortality is metastasis, which relies on the growth of blood vessels (haemangiogenesis) and lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis). Whereas the field of haemangiogenesis has been relatively thoroughly studied, little is known about the mechanisms regulating lymphangiogenesis. LÄS MER
2. Sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial cancer
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. The role of the lymph node stroma in cancer and aging
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
4. Hem- and lymph-angiogenesis in cancer metastasis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, the process of sprouting new microvessels from the preexisting vasculature, is known to promote tumor growth. However, the role of tumor angiogenic vessels in facilitating metastasis remains poorly understood. LÄS MER
5. Mechanisms of tumor microenvironment in promoting metastasis
Sammanfattning : Tumor tissues contain diverse cell populations that relentlessly cross-communicate with each other in the tumor microenvironment. In addition to malignant cells, infiltration of other host cells including inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and cells in the vessel walls in tumors significantly contribute to tumor growth and metastasis.
