Previous research has shown that tumor growth is dependent on interactions between cancer cells and adjacent normal tissue. Stromal cells can stimulate the growth of tumor cells; however it is unclear if tumor cells can influence the stroma. In the September issue of the iJournal of Clinical Investigation/i, researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center report that ovarian cancer cells activate the HOXA9 gene to compel stromal cells to create an environment that ...Thursday 6 September 2012
Ovarian Cancer Cells Enhance Tumor Growth by Hijacking Surrounding Tissues
Previous research has shown that tumor growth is dependent on interactions between cancer cells and adjacent normal tissue. Stromal cells can stimulate the growth of tumor cells; however it is unclear if tumor cells can influence the stroma. In the September issue of the iJournal of Clinical Investigation/i, researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center report that ovarian cancer cells activate the HOXA9 gene to compel stromal cells to create an environment that ...
