Employing mesenchymal stem cells to support tumor-targeted delivery of extracellular vesicle (EV)-encapsulated microRNA-379
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-25)Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have a well-established tumor-homing capacity, highlighting potential as tumor-targeted delivery vehicles. MSCs secrete extracellular vesicle (EV)-encapsulated microRNAs, which play a ... -
Mesenchymal stem cells in the colorectal tumor microenvironment: Recent progress and implications
(Wiley, 2012-01-30)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic multipotent adult stem cells. They have been shown to have a natural tropism for many tumors types, including colorectal, and are capable of escaping host immune surveillance. ... -
Potential role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the breast tumour microenvironment: stimulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
(Springer, 2010-01-20)Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to specifically migrate to and engraft at tumour sites. Understanding interactions between cancer cells and MSCs has become fundamental to determining whether ... -
Systemic chemokine levels in breast cancer patients and their relationship with circulating menstrual hormones
(Springer, 2008-06-04)Introduction The chemokines Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha/CXCL12) and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) have been implicated in breast cancer progression. We recently reported elevated systemic ...
