CONT

Il a été établi que le caractère invasif d’un cancer primitif était déterminé non seulement par le génotype des cellules tumorales, mais aussi par leurs interactions avec l’environnement extracellulaire qui module les capacités de développement de la tumeur. Le pronostic de la maladie cancéreuse étant très directement lié au caractère invasif de la tumeur primitive et à sa capacité à coloniser d’autres organes, l’acquisition de connaissances fondamentales sur le microenvironnement tumoral représente une orientation scientifique essentielle pour le développement de nouvelles approches thérapeutiques.

Theoretically, all sandfly species are able to be colonized given appropriate temperature, humidity and media resembling the natural conditions... However, some species though reared through at least one generation, have not yet been colonized. Presumably, unknown factors that are not mimicked in the laboratory, and reflect the micro-environment of the species in nature have limited the ability to propagate these species.
