Pancreatic cancer cells breach endothelial barriers through protrusion-driven invasion or endothelial retraction

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms by which pancreatic cancer cells extravasate: protrusion-driven invasion and endothelial retraction, with implications for anti-metastatic strategies.

Uridine Phosphorylase-1 supports metastasis of mammary cancer by altering immune and extracellular matrix landscapes of the lung

Host environment shapes filarial parasites fitness and Wolbachia endosymbionts dynamics

This study shows that host type-2 immunity affects Wolbachia dynamics in filarial parasites, leading to reproductive impairments and developmental defects in both microfilariae and larvae.
