Key signalling nodes in mammary gland development and cancer: the snail1-twist1 conspiracy in malignant breast cancer progression [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and despite significant advances in diagnosing and treating it, metastatic spread of cancer cells results in a high mortality rate. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an embryonic program in

Conquering Metastatic Breast Cancer [PDF]
The plight of women (and men) with metastatic breast cancer and our wish to improve on our current inability to effect long-term cures for these patients are in our thoughts. Metastatic breast cancer is the top cancer killer for US women younger than 54 years of age, and some 40,000 individuals succumb each year in the United States, accounting for ...

Sialic Acid Metabolism: A Key Player in Breast Cancer Metastasis Revealed by Metabolomics
Metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable. It has recently emerged that different metabolic pathways support metastatic breast cancer. To further uncover metabolic pathways enabling breast cancer metastasis, we investigated metabolic differences in

CCL2 recruits inflammatory monocytes to facilitate breast-tumour metastasis [PDF]
Macrophages abundantly found in the tumor microenvironment enhance malignancy(1). At metastatic sites a distinct population of metastasis associated macrophages (MAMs) promote tumor cell extravasation, seeding and persistent growth(2).

Human adipocytes stimulate invasion of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by secreting IGFBP-2. [PDF]
A better understanding of the effects of human adipocytes on breast cancer cells may lead to the development of new treatment strategies. We explored the effects of adipocytes on the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo.
