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
Tumorigenesis is a dynamic process in with the mutant cells and their environment transform from a functional tissue into a dysfunctional assembly of cells. Interactions between the mutant cells and their neighboring cells, including the healthy surrounding tissue, the stromal cells, and the immune cells, are essential for mutant cells to expand and develop into a cancerous lesion. To understand how mutant cells are shaping their environment on the one hand, and how healty tissue dynamics dictate mutant cell behavior on the other hand, we follow the fate and dynamics of mutant mammary epithelial cells in their native normal tissue context using intravital microscopy.
