Priority Research Program of the German Research Foundation
(DFG) SPP 1190 - THE TUMOR - VESSEL INTERFACE The following is intended to serve as general information for individuals interested in the field of tumor-vessel interaction research as well as a communication and information board for the research groups within the SPP 1190: |

The growth of blood vessels in tumors is one of the most important, if not the most important tumor-host interaction associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Yet, a multitude of cells, molecules and mechanisms way beyond classical tumor angiogenesis control the complex interactions between the tumor and the vascular compartments to regulate tumor progression and metastasis. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft has implemented the
SPP 1190 in recognition of the increasing importance of
tumor-vessel interaction research in current basic
biomedical science. The SPP 1190 provides funds for 17 research groups from all over Germany (see map) which are all actively
involved in the molecular analysis of the complex
interactions between the tumor compartment and the
vascular compartment. The program was initiated in
January 2006 for two funding periods of
three years each.
