Bidirectional cross talk between patient‐derived melanoma and cancer‐associated fibroblasts promotes invasion and proliferation
3 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Tumor-stroma interactions are critical for epithelial-derived tumors, and among the stromal cell types, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit multiple functions that fuel growth, dissemination, and drug resistance. However, these interactions remain insufficiently characterized in non-epithelial tumors such as malignant melanoma. We generated monocultures of melanoma cells and matching CAFs from patients'...
