Collectively, these components constitute the tumour microenvironment, which includes immune cells, blood vessels, fibroblasts, nerves, adipocytes, and a wide variety of signalling molecules.<\/p>\n<p>Accumulating findings indicate that cancer cells actively exploit and remodel their surrounding microenvironment to promote tumour growth, survival, and metastatic dissemination. Understanding the tumour microenvironment could provide insights into tumour development, reveal the biological mechanisms underlying tumour aggressiveness, elucidate the factors influencing treatment response, and inform therapeutic strategies aimed at disrupting interactions between cancer cells and their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>More information<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www4.uib.no\/en\/faculty-of-medicine\/featured\/trond-mohn-research-foundation-call-for-research-proposals-cancer-microenvironment-biology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trond Mohn Research Foundation \u2013 Call for Research Proposals: Cancer microenvironment biology | UiB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Proposals must be sent to UiB by October 30th.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Eivind Senneset\/UiB<\/p>\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13859\" src=\"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-300x200.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-320x213.avif 320w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-420x280.avif 420w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-576x384.avif 576w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg-992x662.avif 992w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forskning_Eivind-Senneset.jpg.avif 1090w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trond Mohn Research Foundation and UiB: Call for Research Proposals in the field of cancer microenvironment biology [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary vidiflex-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/uncategorized\/call_cancer_microenvironment\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":13859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-09 16:35:50","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13867"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13867\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13877,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13867\/revisions\/13877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
