The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of mediators surrounding a tumor, including diverse cell types, blood vessels, and ...

The immune system is the body’s first line of defense when it comes to fighting cancerous cells. It can identify and attack the smallest of threats before they become a danger, and distinguish tumor ...

Chronic circadian disruption — such as night-shift work, irregular schedules, or frequent jet lag — accelerates the development and spread of aggressive breast cancer.

The field of tumor microenvironment (TME) research has unveiled the crucial influence of acid–base dynamics in shaping cancer progression, metastatic ...

A research team from Fudan University has developed a hydrogel technology based on microenvironment-responsive mechanisms. The material can sense pH changes in the wound environment and dynamically ...

Australian researchers will soon have an unprecedented ability to see how cancer cells interact with their microenvironment, thanks to a new imaging centre being established at the Garvan Institute of ...

Cancer cells don’t exist in isolation – instead, they live within a complex ecosystem that also includes immune cells, stromal cells, the extracellular matrix, blood vessels and many other factors.

The landscape of breast cancer research is undergoing a significant shift, moving toward complex, combination strategies designed to overcome the body’s own immune suppression.

A tumor is a complex and heterogenous ecosystem, which not only contains malignant cells but several other interacting cells (e.g., stromal fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and a variety of immune ...
