The fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds is a well-established field that has gained recent prominence for the in vivo repair of a variety of tissue types. Recently, increasing levels of sophistication have been engineered into adjuvant scaffolds facilitating the concomitant presentation of a variety of stimuli (both physical and biochemical) to create a range of favourable cellular micr...

Cancer is a disease that overwhelms the body with harmful and excessive cellular growth. There deadly accessory of stage IV cancer; Staphylococcus aureus disease-serving bacterium can infiltrate tumor microenvironment to support malignancy. Furthermore, immune tolerance acquired as bacteria-infested cancerous mass forms collagen-reinforced extracellular matrix. The review discusses allergy-assi...

The breast tumor microenvironment plays an active role in tumorigenesis. Molecular alterations have been identified in tumor-associated stroma; however, there is considerable debate as to whether the stroma is characterized by genomic instability or whether detection of chromosomal alterations reflects technological artifact rather than the true genomic content of the tumor microenvironment. Th...
