GISM SECTION - "GISM ONCOLOGY"

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

The GISM-Oncology section aims to deal with aspects concerning the relationship between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and tumors. In particular, this interest concern:

• the pro- or anti-tumorigenic role of MSCs;
• the biological-functional characteristics of MSCs present in the tumor microenvironment and the tumor-stromal cell cross-talk;
• the 2D and 3D in vitro models of tumors and MSCs;
• the use of MSCs as a vehicle for the transport of drugs, viruses, cytokines, exosome/EVs for new antineoplastic therapy approaches.
