Acquired radioresistance in cancer associated fibroblasts is concomitant with enhanced antioxidant potential and DNA repair capacity
26 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of the cancer stroma, and their response to therapeutic treatments likely impacts the outcome. We tested the hypothesis that CAFs develop unique characteristics that enhance their resistance to ionizing radiation. Methods CAFs were generated through intimate coculture of normal human fibroblasts of skin or lung origin with various...
