In this study, we investigated the effects of metformin on the differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and their potential role in cancer immunity. BMDMs were generated from bone marrow cells extracted from C57BL/6N mice and differentiated in the presence or absence of metformin. ...
Development of melanoma brain metastasis is caused by an interaction between tumor cells and normal cells in the brain microenvironment. miRNAs delivered by exosomes derived from the tumor cells seem to prime the brain microenvironment, prior to extravasation of tumor cells into the brain. We invest...
The purpose of the present study was to elucidate in more details the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil-mediated inflammation. We therefore investigated the time-dependent stimulatory potential of LPS from Escherichia coli on cytokine response in neutrophil-like HL-60 cells.
