Malignant progression results from a dynamic cross-talk between stromal and cancer cells.
Recent evidence suggests that this cross-talk is mediated to a significant extent by exosomes…

Early local tumor invasion in breast cancer results in a likely encounter between cancer cells
and mature adipocytes, but the role of these fat cells in tumor progression remains unclear. …

In breast cancer, a key feature of peritumoral adipocytes is their loss of lipid content observed
both in vitro and in human tumors. The free fatty acids (FFAs), released by adipocytes after …

Obesity favours the occurrence of locally disseminated prostate cancer in the periprostatic
adipose tissue (PPAT) surrounding the prostate gland. Here we show that adipocytes from …

The measurement of global precipitation, both rainfall and snowfall, is critical to a wide
range of users and applications. Rain gauges are indispensable in the measurement of …

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) comprise the majority of stromal cells in breast cancers,
yet their precise origins and relative functional contributions to malignant progression …

Gut mucosal barrier breakdown and inflammation have been associated with high levels of
flagellin, the principal bacterial flagellar protein. Although several gut commensals can …

The heterogeneous nature of urban environments means that atmospheric research ideally
requires a dense network of sensors to adequately resolve the local climate. With recent …

Next-generation sequencing has greatly contributed to an improved ecological understanding
of the human gut microbiota. Nevertheless, questions remain regarding the characteristics …

Among the many different cell types surrounding breast cancer cells, the most abundant are
those that compose mammary adipose tissue, mainly mature adipocytes and progenitors. …
