Genetic alterations and epigenetic alterations of cancer-associated fibroblasts
30 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one major type of component identified in the tumor microenvironment. Studies have focused on the genetic and epigenetic status of CAFs, since they are critical in tumor progression and differ phenotypically and functionally from normal fibroblasts.
