UK-SH - ENT Lübeck Chemo- and radioresistence of CD44+lin- cells increased chemoresistence and radioresistance (not shown) of permanent cell lines derived from metastases versus primary tumor
UK-SH - ENT Lübeck Reconsideration of tumor therapeutics ?! • Individual tumor profiling • Individualized tumor stem cell therapeutics • Targeting der ‚multidrug resistance‘ Mechanisms • Targeting der DNA-Repair-Mechanisms • Blocking of self renewal cascades (WNT,BMP Signaling) • Acceleration of differentiation • Blocking of homing (e.g.CXCR4) • characterisation of the stem cell niche • ‚Tumor-Stem cells‘ as target for innovative Vaccine strategies
