1. Matrix metalloproteinases in natural killer cells. Expression of MMPs, IL-2 activation and killer cell interactions with Matrigel® and model tumours
Sammanfattning : Introduction: IL-2 activated natural killer (A-NK) cells can recognize malignant cells and exert tumouricidal activities by multiple mechanisms that require close contact with the target cells. Upon adoptive transfer, some A-NK cells accumulate in tumours by migrating from the vascular bed to a position inside the malignant tissue, forming close contacts with target cells. LÄS MER
2. Immune cell infiltration and prognosis in colorectal cancer
Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is globally the second most common form of cancer among women, and third in men. It is also one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in high-income countries. Surgical resection is the basis for curative therapy but still almost half of the patients die from metastatic disease. LÄS MER
3. Tumour microenvironment in serous ovarian cancer
Sammanfattning : Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common malignancy in women worldwide and the most lethal gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. The epithelial subtype is divided in five main histologic groups, of which the high-grade serous is the most common subtype. LÄS MER
4. Macrophage antigen expression in breast and colorectal cancers : A consequence of macrophage - tumour cell fusion?
Sammanfattning : Carcinogenesis is a sophisticated biological process consisting of a series of progressive changes in somatic cells from premalignant to malignant phenotype. Despite the vast information available about cancer cells, the origin of cancer and cause of metastasis still remain enigmatic. LÄS MER
5. Hodgkin Lymphoma – an Interplay Between Tumour Cell and Microenvironment
Sammanfattning : Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a malignant disorder characterised by few tumour cells surrounded by a massive infiltrate of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, and microvessels. Therefore, it is a good model in which to study the interplay between tumour cells and the microenvironment. LÄS MER
