RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Prof. Carmine Mancone is the director of the Tumor Microenvironment Research Group. This group works on understanding the molecular basis of the interaction between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) in liver and biliary tract carcinomas. In particular, we are focused on the identification and characterization of proteins responsible for the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), for the regulation of vascular and lymphatic angiogenesis and for the desmoplastic reaction in cholangiocarcinoma to understand how the TME influences growth, invasiveness, and metastasis of cancer cells and to identify new therapeutic targets.
