Cancer stem cells as mediators of treatment resistance in brain tumors: Status and controversies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-11)Malignant primary brain tumors are characterized by a short median survival and an almost 100% tumorrelated mortality. Despite the addition of new chemotherapy regimes, the overall survival has improved marginally, and ... -
Increased plasma colloid osmotic pressure facilitates the uptake of therapeutic macromolecules in a xenograft tumour model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-08)Elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP) is a characteristic of most solid tumors. Clinically, TIFP may hamper the uptake of chemotherapeutic drugs into the tumor tissue reducing their therapeutic efficacy. In ... -
Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging-based assessment of vascular changes and radiation response in androgen-sensitive prostate carcinoma xenografts under androgen-exposed and androgen-deprived conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10)Prostate cancer (PCa) patients receive androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) to reduce tumor burden. However, complete eradication of PCa is unusual, and recurrent disease is evident within approximately 2 years in high-risk ... -
Lowering of tumor interstitial fluid pressure reduces tumor cell proliferation in a xenograft tumor model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-02)High tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP) is a characteristic of most solid tumors. TIFP may hamper adequate uptake of macromolecular therapeutics in tumor tissue. In addition, TIFP generates mechanical forces affecting ... -
S100 proteins in acute myeloid leukemia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12)The S100 protein family contains 20 functionally expressed members, which are commonly dysregulated in cancer. Their wide range of functions includes cell proliferation, cell differentiation, regulation of transcription ...
