NOTCH1 gene amplification promotes expansion of Cancer Associated Fibroblast populations in human skin

The presence of genomic alterations in cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is largely unexplored. The authors show that frequent NOTCH1 gene amplification and overexpression render CAFs resistant to the UVA-induced DNA damage response (DDR) and promote cancer/stromal cells expansion, which can be r...
