Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) communicate with cancer cells to play important roles in tumor progression. However, CAFs have heterogeneous phenotypes and functions. To understand how much of this heterogeneity relates to different biological responses, a more efficient method of generating single-cell-derived CAF clones is required. METHOD: We transduced two primary CAF cultures (CAFs-608 and...
