Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main stromal cells in the tumour microenvironment (TME). We found that the distribution of CAFs was significantly increased with tumour progression and led to a poor prognosis. In vitro and in vivo assays revealed that CAFs enhanced colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. Based on extraction and identification of exosomes of CAFs and normal fibroblasts (NFs), CAFs-exo...
