The invasive potential of human melanoma cell lines correlates with their ability to alter fibroblast gene expression in vitro and the stromal microenvironment in vivo.

13 Oct 2009 The tumor microenvironment is thought to play an important role in invasion and metastasis. Previously, we have shown that signaling from melanoma cells can alter the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo. To investigate ... Read more...

Functional interaction of plasmacytoid dendritic cells with multiple myeloma cells: a therapeutic target.

4 Oct 2009 Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite novel therapies, suggesting the need for further identification of factors mediating tumorigenesis and drug resistance. Using both in vitro and in vivo MM xenograft models, we show that plasmacytoid ... Read more...

Cell-autonomous role of EphB2 and EphB3 receptors in the thymic epithelial cell organization.

29 Sep 2009 The role of EphB2 and EphB3 in the organization of thymic epithelial cells has been studied in EphB-deficient fetal thymus lobes grafted under the kidney capsule of WT mice. The deficient lobes, as compared with WT ones, showed altered distribution ... Read more...
