PIs - A. Salvadori, M. Serpelloni, A. Luciano*, V. Lodde* * Reproductive and Developmental Biology Laboratory, University of Milan A multidisciplinary approach will tackle the scientific challenge of studying the [...]
The mechanical role of ECM in the modulation of angiogenesis in melanoma
Mitola's Lab Malignant tumor cells recruit normal cells from surrounding tissue, creating a sophisticated environment composed of tumor cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, adipose cells, macrophages, endothelial cells (ECs), and the extracellular matrix (ECM). [...]
Role of VEGFR2 in the dissemination of high-grade serous ovarian cancer
Mitola's Lab Ovarian cancer (OC) is the eighth most common and most lethal gynecological cancer, with 67,771 new cases and 44,576 deaths in Europe in 2018 (Global Cancer Observatory). High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC) is [...]
