Tumour microenvironment - ameloblastomas
Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.
Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone. This type of tumour
PGE2 role in carcinoma chemoresistance via CSC repopulation
The involvement of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in cancer development has already been described (see the post "Tumour microenvironment – the dark side of PGE2). Recently, Kurtova et al. confirmed this
