This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone metastases are common in many cancers and associated with skeletal-related events such as spinal cord compression, fractures, pain, disability, and impaired quality of life. Bone metastasis is most prominent in breast, prostate, and lung cancer patients and is the leading cause of cancer-associated death. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts control each other’s functions to maintain normal bone homeostasis. In addition, bone remodeling is governed by the balanced activity of the bone and immune cells. Bone metastasis is a multistage process, and the bone microenvironment influences the seeding and colonization of the disseminated cancer cells. Disruption of bone homeostasis and immune population provides fertile soil to facilitate cancer cell seeding. Despite the advancement of our understanding to treat primary tumors, most of the treatments for bone metastasis are palliative. Proper understanding of the immune component of the bone and their involvement in bone metastasis niche formation will help to explore future directions of bone metastasis research.

Subsequent chapters explore the effects that estrogen has on bone and the immune system, the development of pathologic conditions, and the growing research around osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, the genetics of bone disease, and bone cancer metastasis. Explains the intricate interaction between the immune system and bone Features detailed discussions of the key cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the homeostasis of the individual systems Facilitates greater understanding of osteoimmunologic networks, their environments, and how this understanding leads to better treatments for human diseases involving both systems

Download or read book Systems Biology of Tumor Microenvironment written by Katarzyna A. Rejniak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume discusses the complexity of tumor microenvironments during cancer development, progression and treatment. Each chapter presents a different mathematical model designed to investigate the interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding stroma and stromal cells. The topics covered in this book include the quantitative image analysis of a tumor microenvironment, the microenvironmental barriers in oxygen and drug delivery to tumors, the development of tumor microenvironmental niches and sanctuaries, intravenous transport of the circulating tumor cells, the role of the tumor microenvironment in chemotherapeutic interventions, the interactions between tumor cells, the extracellular matrix, the interstitial fluid, and the immune and stromal cells. Mathematical models discussed here embrace both continuous and agent-based approaches, as well as mathematical frameworks of solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and optimal control theory. The topics in each chapter will be of interest to a biological community wishing to apply the mathematical methods to interpret their experimental data, and to a biomathematical audience interested in exploring how mathematical models can be used to address complex questions in cancer biology.
Download or read book Osteosarcoma written by Kanya Honoki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and mainly affects children, adolescents, and young adults. Osteosarcoma shows significant genetic instability, resulting in very complex biology with multifaceted cellular and molecular mechanisms and behavior. Although clinical outcomes, both prognostic and functional, of osteosarcoma dramatically improved in the 1980s, the prognoses of the patients with relapsed and/or metastatic disease remained very poor in spite of our continuous efforts to overcome this difficulty. This book aims to delve into the current advances of basic and clinical sciences in osteosarcoma that are guiding the future directions of its research and clinical practice. The knowledge presented here will lead to further inspiration, ideas, and novel insights into the field of osteosarcoma research. Hopefully, this work will foster improvement of the prognosis for patients suffering from the disease.

Download or read book Adult Stem Cell Niches written by Sabine Wislet and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue-specific stem cells have the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into several types of functional cells that replenish lost cells throughout an organism?s lifetime. Studies on stem cells from diverse systems have shown that stem cell function is controlled by extracellular cues from the niche and by intrinsic genetic programs within the stem cell. The objectives of this book would be to review the molecular mechanisms that mediate the balanced response of stem cells to the needs of the organisms. Likewise, niches have also been linked to pathologies, by imposing aberrant function on stem cells or other targets. Therefore, the second objective of this book would be to highligh the molecular dysregulation of niche biology leading to the disease. The third objective would be to review the therapeutical targets described within stem cell niches.
