Targeting the tumour vasculature: from vessel destruction to promotion

S Guelfi, K Hodivala-Dilke, G Bergers - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2024 - nature.com
As angiogenesis was recognized as a core hallmark of cancer growth and survival, several
strategies have been implemented to target the tumour vasculature. Yet to date, attempts …

Vessel co-option in cancer

EA Kuczynski, PB Vermeulen, F Pezzella… - Nature reviews Clinical …, 2019 - nature.com
All solid tumours require a vascular supply in order to progress. Although the ability to
induce angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) has long been regarded as essential to this …

Hypoxia-inducible factors: cancer progression and clinical translation

EE Wicks, GL Semenza - The Journal of clinical …, 2022 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are master regulators of oxygen homeostasis that match O2
supply and demand for each of the 50 trillion cells in the adult human body. Cancer cells co …

Vessel co-option mediates resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy in liver metastases

S Frentzas, E Simoneau, VL Bridgeman… - Nature medicine, 2016 - nature.com
The efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitors in cancer is limited by resistance mechanisms that
are poorly understood. Notably, instead of through the induction of angiogenesis, tumor …

Eph receptors and ephrins in cancer progression

EB Pasquale - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2024 - nature.com
Evidence implicating Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ephrin ligands (that together
make up the 'Eph system') in cancer development and progression has been accumulating …

Hypoxia-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition in cancer

RY Hapke, SM Haake - Cancer letters, 2020 - Elsevier
A common feature of many solid tumors is low oxygen conditions due to inadequate blood
supply. Hypoxia induces hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) stabilization and downstream …

Glioma infiltration and extracellular matrix: key players and modulators

VP Ferrer, V Moura Neto, R Mentlein - Glia, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
An outstanding characteristic of gliomas is their infiltration into brain parenchyma, a property
that impairs complete surgical resection; consequently, these tumors might recur, resulting in …

Infiltrative and drug‐resistant slow‐cycling cells support metabolic heterogeneity in glioblastoma

LB Hoang‐Minh, FA Siebzehnrubl, C Yang… - The EMBO …, 2018 - embopress.org
Metabolic reprogramming has been described in rapidly growing tumors, which are thought
to mostly contain fast‐cycling cells (FCC s) that have impaired mitochondrial function and …

p120-catenin-dependent collective brain infiltration by glioma cell networks

PG Gritsenko, N Atlasy, CEJ Dieteren, AC Navis… - Nature cell …, 2020 - nature.com
Diffuse brain infiltration by glioma cells causes detrimental disease progression, but its
multicellular coordination is poorly understood. We show here that glioma cells infiltrate the …

Non-angiogenic tumours and their influence on cancer biology

T Donnem, AR Reynolds, EA Kuczynski… - Nature Reviews …, 2018 - nature.com
Solid tumours need a blood supply, and a large body of evidence has previously suggested
that they can grow only if they induce the development of new blood vessels, a process …
