Abstract excerpt
Metabolic reprogramming, exemplified by the "Warburg effect," is a hallmark of human cancers, leading to lactate buildup in tumors. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), key contributors to cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), integrate into gastric cancer stroma through interactions with cancer cells. However, the role of lactate in activating BM-MSCs in this context remains unclear. Herein,...
