Tumour Microenvironment

Throughout 2006 and 2007, a series of articles on the Tumour Microenvironment was published in Nature Reviews Cancer. The study of the tumour microenvironment involves a multidisciplinary approach, with in vitro and in vivo models of tumour growth, invasion, extracellular matrix remodelling, angiogenesis and inflammation, as well as preclinical trials, all contributing to the rapid progress that is being made in this area. We hope that this series of articles gave you a taste of the diversity of topics that form part of this rapidly moving field.
