Organ-, inflammation- and cancer specific transcriptional fingerprints of pancreatic and hepatic stellate cells.
Molecular cancer ·doi:10.1186/1476-4598-9-88

BackgroundTissue fibrosis is an integral component of chronic inflammatory (liver and pancreas) diseases and pancreatic cancer. Activated pancreatic- (PSC) and hepatic- (HSC) stellate cells play a key role in fibrogenesis. To identify organ…

Tumor growth and angiogenesis are dependent on the presence of immature dendritic cells.
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology ·doi:10.1096/fj.09-147025

Dendritic cells (DCs)--immunomodulatory cells that initiate adaptive immune responses--have recently been shown to exert proangiogenic effects when infiltrating the tumor microenvironment. As tumors that escape immune surveillance inhibit D…
