A subtype of cancer-associated fibroblasts with lower expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin suppresses stemness through BMP4 in oral carcinoma
3 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) demonstrate the characteristics of myofibroblast differentiation by often expressing the ultrastructure of alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA). However, heterogeneity among cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), with respect to αSMA expression, has been demonstrated in several clinical studies of oral cancer. Like normal stem cells, stem-like cancer cells (SLCCs) are also...
