Exosome-derived miRNAs in the pre-metastatic niche formation in melanoma brain metastases (02.04.2020)
Exosomes released from the primary tumour into circulation have been documented to promote pre-metastatic niche formation. We have identified a miRNA in exosomes from melanoma brain metastases that can play a vital role in this process. Knock-down (KD) of this miRNA results in an inhibition of brain metastatic growth. We are in the process of identifying potential drugs inhibiting the expression... Read more
Research Collaboration with Suzhou Institute for Brainsmatics
Studying brain tumorigenesis and brain metastasis development through high-throughput and high-resolution brain mapping (02.04.2020)
Research leaders at the Translational Cancer Research group have newly established a research collaboration with the HUST-Suzhou Institute for Brainsmatics, to study the development of brain tumors and brain metastasis.
