Cancer biology II
The course covers in detail the interactions of cancer cells with their environment with an emphasis on tumor-angiogenesis, inflammation, adaptive and innate immunity and cancer-induced immune suppression. Additional topics are cancer metabolism, cancer stem cells and metastasis.
Practical - Huelsken Lab (EDMS)
Assessment of signaling mechanisms in cancer.
The objectives of the course are:
- to understand the importance of signaling and cell-cell interactions in cancer stroma interactions
- to learn techniques involved in assessing the function of such interactions in vitro and in vivo.
