   Sammanfattning : DRM – DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT is a wide term that covers many forms of technological schemes for controlling access, use and distribution of creative works – from the blunt and static restrictions on copy-protected Compact Discs to the sophisticated and fluid usage-rules in online music- and movie-stores such as iTunes. DRM technologies have been created and designed in response to a social development where global, digital networks are putting serious pressure on traditional distribution channels. LÄS MER

7. 5. Role of angiogenesis in cancer invasion and metastasis

   Författare :Pegah Rouhi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Cancer metastasis is a complex process that involves an elaborate interplay between malignant cells and various host cellular and molecular components. The metastatic cascade consists of several discrete but non-separable steps, including: 1) malignant transformation of cells; 2) intravasation and dissemination of tumor cells into the circulation or lymphatic system; 3) transport of malignant cells to distal organs and tissues; 4) adherence of tumor cells to distal sites; 5) formation of the initial metastatic niches, and 6) angiogenesis-dependent re-growth of metastatic foci to clinically detectable tumors.
