Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) reconstitute cancer stemness. This study aims to investigate whether the loss of CAF-derived exosomal miR-34c-5p contributes to the maintenance of stem-like properties of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS: Exosomes from primarily cultured CAFs and paired normal fibroblasts (NFs) were collected and identified. The differential expression of exosomal...
