Dynamic imaging of the tumor microenvironment: impact on invasion and CTL effector function

Friedl Peter , Alexander Stephanie , Weigelin Bettina

Improvements in real-time intravital imaging techniques and two-photon microscopy make it now possible to visualize the complex tumor microenvironment in vivo, over time and deeply within intact tissues. Using dynamic imaging, we addressed central aspects of tumor progression, including dynamic interactions of invading tumor cells with the tumor microenvironment and the local regulation of tumor infiltrating immune cells in eradicating tumor cells.<p class="abstext"...
