Brain-Tumor-Microenvironment Study in Motion
In the present study, we show, in an in vivo longitudinal study, that the Slit-Robo pathway is critical for immunosuppressive myeloid cell accumulation in Glioblastoma. Genetic Slit2 depletion in…Read article
Gaining Insights into Colorectal Cancer Metastasis
To follow cancer metastasis at the point of occurrence intravital multiphoton microscopy is the tool of choice. Intravital microscopy allows researchers to obtain image data from a living animal, even…Read article
Accessing the Metabolic Information of Stem Cells
Cancer often comes with changes in the metabolism of cells. Monitoring the metabolic state using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a good way to assess these changes. In some cases,…Read article
