Tumor-associated macrophages in tumor metastasis: biological roles and clinical therapeutic applications
Y Lin, J Xu, H Lan - Journal of hematology & oncology, 2019 - Springer
Tumor metastasis is a major contributor to the death of cancer patients. It is driven not only
by the intrinsic alterations in tumor cells, but also by the implicated cross-talk between …

Remodelling the extracellular matrix in development and disease
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic structure that is present in all tissues and
continuously undergoes controlled remodelling. This process involves quantitative and …

Pre-metastatic niches: organ-specific homes for metastases
It is well established that organs of future metastasis are not passive receivers of circulating
tumour cells, but are instead selectively and actively modified by the primary tumour before …
