Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in female breast cancer
Albert Santamaria Martinez, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Angela Madurga Alonso, Candice Megan T Young, Laurent Nam Ky Beziaud
Understanding the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to metastasize is essential in preventing cancer progression. Here we examine the metabolic adaptations of metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) in female breast cancer and how those shape their metastatic ...
Berlin2023Optical Urea Sensing in Sweat for Kidney Healthcare by Sensitive and Selective Non-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Christian Enz, Sandro Carrara, Assim Boukhayma, Ata Jedari Golparvar, Mattia Petrelli
Sweat biomarker analysis has attracted much interest in applications ranging from sports to wearable healthcare. Among all the sweat biomolecules, abnormal urea levels have been linked to several complications, particularly renal dysfunction. Here, we repo ...
SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING2023Colon tumour cell death causes mTOR dependence by paracrine P2X4 stimulation
Solid cancers exhibit a dynamic balance between cell death and proliferation ensuring continuous tumour maintenance and growth(1,2). Increasing evidence links enhanced cancer cell apoptosis to paracrine activation of cells in the tumour microenvironment in ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022The role of eosinophils in breast cancer
Eosinophils are granulocytes and belong to the innate arm of immunity. Eosinophils can be in different basal or activation states and depending on which type of activation is applied, they exert different effector functions. These multi-functional cells ha ...
EPFL2022Engineering T Cell Trafficking and Function for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy
In the past decades, breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy have led to unprecedented clinical responses in patients with advanced-stage cancers that would otherwise be fatal. However, treatment of many solid organ malignancies with highly immunosuppressive ...
EPFL2022Immunosuppressive roles of Activin-A in melanoma and characterization of its precursor cleavage
Activin-A, a transforming growth factor êµ family member, is a pleiotropic cytokine with diverse functions in development, fertility, adult tissue homeostasis, and aging. Accordingly, deregulation of Activin-A signaling has been associated with many patho ...
EPFL2022Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes
Maxim Norkin, Paloma Ordonez Moran
The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours ...
2021An autonomous microfluidic device for identification and analysis of individual clinically-relevant mammalian cells
Fabien Louis Claude Robert Jammes
Cancer represents one of the major public health challenges worldwide, representing more than 25% of all deaths in the European Union in 2014. It affects a large and growing part of the general population, with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimatin ...
EPFL2021Roles of Epigenetic Dysregulation in Cancer Progression and Metastasis
Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...
EPFL2020Modeling metabolic and signaling pathways in cancer cells
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...
