Open AccessComparison of ex vivo bioluminescence imaging, Alu-qPCR and histology for the quantification of spontaneous lung and bone metastases in subcutaneous xenograft mouse models
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a non-invasive state-of-the-art-method for longitudinal tracking of tumor cells in mice. The technique is commonly used to determine bone metastatic burden in vivo and also sui...

Open AccessCHD1 loss negatively influences metastasis-free survival in R0-resected prostate cancer patients and promotes spontaneous metastasis in vivo
The outcome of prostate cancer (PCa) patients is highly variable and depends on whether or not distant metastases occur. Multiple chromosomal deletions have been linked to early tumor marker PSA recurrence (bi...

Open AccessThe initial engraftment of tumor cells is critical for the future growth pattern: a mathematical study based on simulations and animal experiments
Xenograft mouse tumor models are used to study mechanisms of tumor growth and metastasis formation and to investigate the efficacy of different therapeutic interventions. After injection the engrafted cells fo...

Adhesion of small cell lung cancer cells to E- and P-Selectin under physiological flow conditions: implications for metastasis formation
Haematogenous metastasis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is still a poorly understood process and represents the life threatening event in this malignancy. In particular, the rate-limiting step within the met...
