alter the mechanical properties of the
microenvironment.
Now, Salk scientists have pinned down how signals from this

microenvironment be
altered so that it promotes or thwarts metastasis?
Masters et al. discuss the often overlooked contribution of the stromal
microenvironment as an extrinsic factor to immunosenescence and inflammation.12 Accumulation of senescent stromal cells which demonstrate the senescent associated secretory phenotype (SAPS), may
alter tissue structure and function, and increase local inflammation.13 The impact of
altered lymphoid stromal
microenvironment may be widespread and include
altered haematopoiesis, reduced lymphatic flow and disrupted secondary lymphoid organisation, which consequently will
alter antigen transportation and presentation to T cells.12

altering the tumor
microenvironment.

alter or influence the tumor
microenvironment to suppress progression and invasion?
The result is an accumulation of senescent cells, which causes inflammation, tissue degradation and the production of growth factors that
alter the tissue
microenvironment, leading to disease.

microenvironment through interleukin - 13 (IL - 13) stimulation induced features of asthmatic airways and induced vascular wall activation through increased expression of E - and P - Selectin, but did not
alter rhinovirus growth.

altered metabolic pathways to sustain rapid growth and to overcome enormous stress encountered in tumor
microenvironment.
