MIRO2-mediated mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells induces cancer-associated fibroblast differentiation
28 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key components of the tumor microenvironment that commonly support cancer development and progression. Here we show that different cancer cells transfer mitochondria to fibroblasts in cocultures and xenograft tumors, thereby inducing protumorigenic CAF features. Transplantation of functional mitochondria from cancer cells induces metabolic alterations in fibroblasts,...
