The key questions the network currently addresses include
- What cellular processes allow tumor cells to replace healthy, benign parenchymal cells? Research Groups Marco Gerling, Martin Enge.
- What are the cellular mechanisms of immune invasion characteristic of metastases, and how are they regulated by the microenvironment? Research Groups Niklas Björkström, Arne Östman.
- What is the role of senescent cells in the metastatic microenvironment and how do they contribute to immune evasion and cancer cell invasion? Research Groups Federico Pietrocola, Marco Gerling.
