Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: Their Characteristics and Their Roles in Tumor Growth

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: Their Characteristics and Their Roles in Tumor Growth

Cancer tissues are composed of cancer cells and the surrounding stromal cells (e.g., fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and immune cells), in addition to the extracellular matrix. Most studies investigating carcinogenesis and the progression, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis of cancer ha...
