Successful tumor cells must develop strategies to grow even in the face of famine. Tumors do not have enough blood vessels to keep all the cancer cells well fed, and the blood vessels that are present are leaky and don’t function properly. Despite these supply-side limitations, tumor cells flourish and even manage to travel to new parts of the body where they form lethal metastases. How do they do it?
UC Irvine received a 5 year award from the NIH-BEST initiative to fund innovative professional development programs.
