Mechanoregulation of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Phenotype in Three-Dimensional Interpenetrating Hydrogel Networks
27 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Tumor stromal residing cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are significant accomplices in the growth and development of malignant neoplasms. As cancer progresses, the stroma undergoes a dramatic remodeling and stiffening of its extracellular matrix (ECM). However, exactly how these biomechanical changes influence the CAF behavior and the functional paracrine crosstalk with the neighboring tumor cells in a...
