Solutions for Tumorigenesis

Relying on the technology platform of the tumor microenvironment center, Alfa Cytology provides a full range of tumorigenesis solutions to help scientific researchers successfully achieve their research goals.

Introduction

With the gradual deepening of tumor research, people realize that the occurrence and development of tumors are not only due to the malignancy of tumor cells themselves, but also closely related to the tumor microenvironment(TME). A normal microenvironment can inhibit the growth of tumor cells; while an abnormal microenvironment can promote the growth of tumor cells by altering tumor cell surface molecules or activating/inhibiting different signaling pathways. The interstitial high pressure formed by the infinite proliferation of tumor cells leads to tissue hypoxia and acidosis, which in turn leads to the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the release of various cytokines and proteolytic enzymes, the formation of new blood vessels, etc., which constitute the microenvironment for tumor growth. It plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors.

Solutions

Previous studies have shown that the behavior of many components in the TME is involved in tumorigenesis. However, many research modalities to study the specific processes of tumorigenesis have proven challenging. Recently, Alfa Cytology has developed a tumor sequencing technology platform and a real-time imaging technology platform, etc. The compatibility of these platforms provides opportunities for further research on tumorigenesis. We can rely on the technical services provided by this platform to deeply explore how malignant cells occur and how various components in the tumor microenvironment participate in tumorigenesis. When these are clear, we can develop targeted drugs and immune drugs, in order to prolong the survival time of patients, improve the quality of life, and try to cure the tumor.

Key technologies

We employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumors to detect and quantify the genetic components driving tumorigenesis at the gene level. This technology comprehensively mines genetic variation at the gene level, screens oncogenes, and provides information for the study of tumorigenesis and genetic mechanisms. According to the test results, we can screen all drug possibilities and conduct research and development of targeted drugs and immune drugs.

The dynamic interaction of tumors with their microenvironment is a self-sustaining and adaptive process that is very complex and may present difficulties at every stage of tumorigenesis. We employ tumor imaging techniques to accurately distinguish preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions (tumorigenesis) and track tumor evolution.

Alfa Cytology is committed to supporting scientists in making breakthrough scientific discoveries and developing new applications to accelerate new drug discovery and scientific diagnosis and treatment.
