In vivo fluorescence imaging reveals the promotion of mammary tumorigenesis by mesenchymal stromal cells.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells which are recruited to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and influence tumor progression through multiple mechanisms. In this study, we examined the effects of MSCs on the tunmorigenic capacity of 4T1 murine mammary cancer cells. It wa...
