The senescent microenvironment promotes the emergence of heterogeneous cancer stem-like cells
13 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
There is a well-established association between aging and the onset of metastasis. Although the mechanisms through which age impinges upon the malignant phenotype remain uncharacterized, the role of a senescent microenvironment has been emphasized. We reported previously that human epithelial cells that undergo telomere-driven chromosome instability (T-CIN) display global microRNA (miR) deregulation and develop...
