Nano Main Field: My group is interested in addressing the issue of more aggressive tumor development in obesity and type diabetes.
We have mouse models that replicate the human situation with both increased tumor growth and increased metastases.
This is associated with changes in gene-expression, miRNAs and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
