Mesenchymal stem cells as a double-edged sword in tumor growth: focusing on MSC-derived cytokines

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show homing capacity towards tumor sites. Numerous reports indicate that they are involved in multiple tumor-promoting processes through several mechanisms, including immunosuppression; stimulation of angiogenesis; transition to cancer-associated fibroblasts; i...
