Tumor-promoting desmoplasia is disrupted by depleting FAP-expressing stromal cells

Malignant cells drive the generation of a desmoplastic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Cancer-associated stromal cells (CASCs) are a heterogeneous population that provides both negative and positive signals for tumor cell growth and metas...

FAP+ Cells Are Required for Tumor-Promoting Desmoplasia

Malignant cells drive the generation of a desmoplastic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Cancer-associated stromal cells (CASC) are a heterogeneous population that provides both negative and positive signals for tumor cell growth and metast...

Stratifying Cancers for Immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy may become a major treatment backbone in many cancers over the next decade. There are numerous immune cell types found in cancers and many components of an immune reaction to cancer. Thus, the tumor has many strategies to evade an...

microRNA-181a-5p Inhibits Cancer Cell Migration and Angiogenesis via Downregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-14

Upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase MMP-14 (MT1-MMP) is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients, but it is unclear how MMP-14 becomes elevated in tumors. Here we show that miR-181a-5p is downregulated in aggressive human breast and colon...
