OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
All tumour cells arise and develop through harsh microenvironmental selection. They adapt or inherit variations to increase each clone for competition, survival and proliferation. Their relative abilities to survive, proliferate and propagate genes are supported by crosstalk with surrounding stromal cells. As a result, tumour cells gain the hallmarks of cancer and emerge as more malignant for metastasis and resistant to therapies. This seminar will review various interactions of tumour with stromal cells in the tumour microenvironment.
