Spatial transcriptomics reveals tumor-derived SPP1 induces fibroblast chemotaxis and activation in the hepatocellular carcinoma microenvironment
12 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The tumor microenvironment (TME) exerts profound effects on tumor progression and therapeutic efficacy. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the TME is enriched with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which secrete a plethora of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors that facilitate tumor cell proliferation and invasion. However, the intricate architecture of the TME in HCC, as well as the...
