• Cancer stem cells as mediators of treatment resistance in brain tumors: Status and controversies 

      Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Immervoll, Heike; Chekenya, Martha (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 

      Hofmann, Matthias; McCormack, Emmet; Mujic, Maja; Roßberg, Maila; Bernd, August; Bereiter-Hahn, Jürgen; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Wiig, Helge; Kippenberger, Stefan (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 ...
    • Lowering of tumor interstitial fluid pressure reduces tumor cell proliferation in a xenograft tumor model 

      Hofmann, Matthias; Guschel, Maike; Bernd, August; Bereiter-Hahn, Jürgen; Kaufmann, Robert; Tandi, Christa; Wiig, Helge; Kippenberger, Stefan (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 

      Brenner, Annette; Bruserud, Øystein (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 ...
