Abstract excerpt
There is growing evidence to suggest that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are key players in tumour stroma. Here, we investigated the cross-talk between BM-MSCs and osteosarcoma (OS) cells. We revealed a strong tropism of BM-MSCs towards these tumour cells and identified monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, growth-regulated oncogene (GRO)-α and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 as...
