Brief

The ability to repair tissue injuries is essential for survival and is a prerequisite for all invasive medical intervention. It has been shown that wound healing and cancer me<x>tastasis share common early signaling pathways that have led to the hypothesis that tumors are “wounds that do not heal”. In fact, cancer progression and wound healing are influenced by many common factors, for example, regulators of angiogenesis and inflammation are instrumental in different types of oncological therapy and wound healing/regeneration. With a focus on current research projects in Prof. YJ Chuang;s lab, this special topics course begins with a systemic review of current topics in wound healing and cancer therapy, followed by general and then focused discussion of involved factors that are of interest.

It has been shown that wound healing and cancer metastasis share common early signaling pathways that have led to the hypothesis that tumors are “wounds that do not heal”. In fact, cancer progression and wound healing are influenced by many common factors, for example, regulators of angiogenesis and inflammation are instrumental in different types of oncological therapy and wound healing/regeneration. With a focus on current research projects in Prof. YJ Chuang;s lab, this special topics course begins with a systemic review of current topics in wound healing and cancer therapy, followed by general and then focused discussion of involved factors that are of interest. 二、指定用書 1.
