PhD Studentship in Radiation Oncology & Experimental Cancer Research, Ghent University, Belgium

Invasive growth of a tumor occurs within an ecosystem where a continuous communication exists between cancer cells and a wide network of tumor-associated myofibroblasts. Secretory factors from the cancer cells activate the recruitment of myofibroblasts, both near to and far from the primary tumor site, as well as they promote the departure of cancer cells [...]
