MDSCs: The Key Players in the Formation of Pre-Metastatic Niche
The distal metastasis of tumor cells is viewed as a series of concurrent processes rather than a linear cascade of events. Accompanied with the progression of the primary tumor, a favorable microenvironment, refered as pre-metastatic niche, has been ...

Niche Construction Theory in Archaeology: A Critical Review [PDF]
AbstractOver the past decade, niche construction theory (NCT) has been one of the fastest-growing theories or scholarly approaches in the social sciences, especially within archaeology. It was proposed in the biological sciences 25 years ago and is often referred to as a neglected evolutionary mechanism. Given its rapid acceptance by the archaeological
