Fibroblasts in metastatic lymph nodes confer cisplatin resistance to ESCC tumor cells via PI16
Although many studies have compared tumor fibroblasts (T-Fbs) and nontumor fibroblasts (N-Fbs), less is understood about the stromal contribution of...

DYT-THAP1: exploring gene expression in fibroblasts for potential biomarker discovery
Dystonia due to pathogenic variants in the THAP1 gene (DYT-THAP1) shows variable expressivity and reduced penetrance of ~ 50%. Since THAP1 encodes a...

Colorectal cancer cells secreting DKK4 transform fibroblasts to promote tumour metastasis
Wnt/β-catenin signalling is aberrantly activated in most colorectal cancer (CRC) and is one key driver involved in the initiation and progression of...

Dysregulation of extracellular matrix and Lysyl Oxidase in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV skin fibroblasts
BackgroundEhlers-Danlos syndrome Type IV (aka Vascular Ehlers Danlos, or vEDS) is a dominantly inherited mutation in the Collagen 3A1 gene ( COL3A1 )....

A preliminary study on the impact of nutrient stress induction on drug cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cells and fibroblasts
BackgroundNutrient stress (NS), one of the hallmarks of the tumour microenvironment, can render cancer cells tolerant to cytotoxicity. Fibroblasts,...

Reduced smooth muscle-fibroblasts transformation potentially decreases intestinal wound healing and colitis-associated cancer in ageing mice
Cancer and impaired tissue wound healing with ageing are closely related to the quality of life of the elderly population. Given the increased...
