Tumors turn gut 'brain cells' into tumor growth promoters

Research led by North Carolina State University has found that when enteric glial cells are exposed to secretions from colon tumors, the glial cells convert into promoters of tumor growth. The work demonstrates enteric glial ...

The tumor microenvironment

Cancer researchers are setting their sights on a new kind of cancer treatment that targets the tumor's surrounding environment, called the tumor microenvironment, in contrast to targeting the tumor directly.

Cancer genes and the tumor milieu

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a mix of fluids, immune cells and blood vessels which envelops the tumors. Interactions between tumor cells and the TME determine the progression and fate of tumors. Therefore, understanding ...

Molecular chatter makes for a 'hot tumor'

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has deciphered a complex molecular conversation between cancer and immune cells that is key to orchestrating the successful invasion of tumors by T cells that kill cancer cells.
