The architecture of co-culture spheroids regulates tumor invasion within a 3D extracellular matrix [PDF]
Tumor invasion, the process by which tumor cells break away from their primary tumor and gain access to vascular systems, is an important step in cancer metastasis. Most current 3D tumor invasion assays consisted of single tumor cells embedded within an extracellular matrix (ECM). These assays taught us much of what we know today on how key biophysical

Prognostic significance of primary-tumor extension, stage and grade of nuclear differentiation in patients with renal cell carcinoma [PDF]
Surgery remains the preferred therapy for renal cell carcinoma. The various adjunctive or complementary therapies currently yield disappointing results. Identifying reliable prognostic factors could help in selecting patients most likely to benefit from ...

Rigorous results of limiting behaviors of total tumor size under cyclic intermittent therapy for the system of reversible phenotype-switchable tumor cells [PDF]
We are keenly interested in finding the limiting behaviors of total tumor size when tumor cells are subject to the periodic repetition of therapy and rest periods, called intermittent cyclic therapy. We hypothesize that each tumor cell can take either therapy-sensitive or therapy-tolerant phenotype, its phenotype transition is mainly driven by the ...

Targeting tumor multicellular aggregation through IGPR-1 inhibits colon cancer growth and improves chemotherapy [PDF]
Adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucially important for survival of normal epithelial cells as detachment from ECM triggers specific apoptosis known as anoikis.

DDR2 controls breast tumor stiffness and metastasis by regulating integrin mediated mechanotransduction in CAFs [PDF]
Biomechanical changes in the tumor microenvironment influence tumor progression and metastases. Collagen content and fiber organization within the tumor stroma are major contributors to biomechanical changes (e., tumor stiffness) and correlated with ...

Regulation of Tumor Immunity by Tumor/Dendritic Cell Fusions [PDF]
The goal of cancer vaccines is to induce antitumor immunity that ultimately will reduce tumor burden in tumor environment. Several strategies involving dendritic cells- (DCs)- based vaccine incorporating different tumor-associated antigens to induce ...

The PPARγ Agonist Rosiglitazone Suppresses Syngeneic Mouse SCC (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) Tumor Growth through an Immune-Mediated Mechanism [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that PPARγ agonists may promote anti-tumor immunity. We show that immunogenic PDV cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tumors are rejected when injected intradermally at a low cell number (1 × 106) into immune competent ...
