The overarching goal of this conference is to bring together distinguished experts, leading scientists, and trainees in this burgeoning field to discuss ground-breaking discoveries, transformative new concepts, and promising technologies that have the potential to usher new paths to therapeutic intervention.\u00a0 We aim to stimulate collaboration between groups working on cellular and molecular aspects of TME biology at the with groups that are engaged in drug discovery, development of innovative imaging modalities or are engaged in oncology [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":211,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244385,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions\/244385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
