Tumor microenvironment as niche constructed by cancer stem cells: Breaking the ecosystem to combat cancer
10 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a distinct subpopulation of cancer cells with the capacity to constantly self-renew and differentiate, and they are the main driver in the progression of cancer resistance and relapse. The tumor microenvironment (TME) constructed by CSCs is the "soil" adapted to tumor growth, helping CSCs evade immune killing, enhance their chemical resistance, and promote cancer...
