Inflammatory cytokines mediate the induction of and awakening from metastatic dormancy

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Metastases arise from disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) that detach from the primary tumor and seed distant organs. There, quiescent DCCs can survive for an extended time, a state referred to as metastatic dormancy.

A 3D Astrocyte Microenvironment Model Enables Rapid Ca2+‐Resolved Analysis and Therapeutic Modulation of Oxidative Neuroinflammation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents ARC‐3D, a soft 3D model that recreates how brain support cells, called astrocytes, react to oxidative stress. The system visualizes rapid calcium changes and inflammatory signals, and shows how the drug KDS12025 can protect cells from damage. ARC‐3D offers a simple, reliable way to study early drivers of brain inflammation.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts-derived CXCL1 activates DEC2-mediated dormancy in oral squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesHeliyon
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are known to play an important role in cancer progression, but their effects on tumor cell dormancy and the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored.

Dynamic Remodeling of the Vascular Bed Precedes Tumor Growth: MLS Ovarian Carcinoma Spheroids Implanted in Nude Mice

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 1999
The goal of this study was to monitor the vascular bed during the lag phase in growth of implanted spheroids as a model of tumor dormancy. Vascular development and tumor growth were followed up by magnetic resonance imaging in a model system of MILS ...

Paracrine Factor Local Gradient‐Generating System for Engineering Perfusable Vascularized Hepatocyte Tissues with Perfusion‐Induced Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A paracrine factor local gradient (PFLG)‐generating system enables microvessel penetration across 3D hepatocyte tissues. The resulting vascularized constructs recapitulate hepatic sinusoidal hepatocyte—endothelial contact architecture and enhance hepatic functions in vitro.

A Biomimetic Buffering Hydrogel Scaffold for Long‐Term Culture of Patient‐Derived Tumor Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A biomimetic fibrous buffering hydrogel controls the local acidification at the tumoroid/hydrogel interface at the physiologically relevant level over 21‐day culture. The buffering effect promotes cancer cell proliferation in the tumoroids and supports the structural integrity and mechanical properties of the hydrogel scaffold over long‐term tumoroid ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Autophagy-induced tumor dormancy in ovarian cancer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2008
Autophagy--a process of "self-eating" that involves enzymatic digestion and recycling of cellular constituents in response to stress--contributes to both cancer cell death and survival. In this issue of the JCI, Lu et al. report that controlled induction of tumor suppressor gene aplasia Ras homolog member I (ARHI) results in autophagic cell death of ...
