Abstract excerpt
Pericytes, essential components of the tumor microenvironment, undergo phenotypic alterations that influence cancer progression, yet the molecular mechanisms governing these changes remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the role of Notch3 signaling in pericyte phenotype and functions in colorectal cancer (CRC). Using lineage tracing approaches, we show that murine tumor pericytes originate from normal...
