How Signaling Molecules Regulate Tumor Microenvironment: Parallels to Wound Repair.
It is now suggested that the inhibition of biological programs that are associated with the tumor microenvironment may be critical to the diagnostics, prevention and treatment of cancer. On the other hand, a suitable wound microenvironment would accelerate tissue repair and prevent extensive scar formation. In the present review paper, we define key signaling molecules (growth factors, cytokine...
متن کاملMacrophages and the tumor microenvironment
Macrophages and the tumor microenvironment Tumor tissue comprises a highly complex network of diverse cell types. In a simplified view, the tumor microenvironment can be subdivided into the cancer cell and the stromal cell compartments, the latter of which harbors many different cell types. A considerable number of innate immune cells reside within the tumor microenvironment, including macropha...
متن کاملThe Tumor Microenvironment and Cancer
Tumors are now recognized as structures of multiple cell types. It is increasingly appreciated that as the cancer progresses, the surrounding microenvironment is activated in support, coevolving through continuous paracrine communication and supporting carcinogenesis. Therefore, the characterization of these interactions, and the molecular identification of key mediators, will provide insights ...
متن کاملMelanoma and the tumor microenvironment.
Melanoma arises through the accrual of mutations in genes critical for proliferation and survival. Although melanoma had been traditionally conceptualized as a cell-autonomous event, increasing evidence supports the notion that these tumors are not isolated entities but rather depend, interact with, and react to the adjacent microenvironment. Melanoma is composed of not only the malignant cells...
متن کاملThe brain tumor microenvironment.
High-grade brain tumors are heterogeneous with respect to the composition of bona fide tumor cells and with respect to a range of intermingling parenchymal cells. Glioblastomas harbor multiple cell types, some with increased tumorigenicity and stem cell-like capacity. The stem-like cells maybe the cells of origin for tumor relapse. However, the tumor-associated parenchymal cells such as vascula...
