Extracellular vesicles from subjects with COPD modulate cancer initiating cells phenotype through HIF-1α shuttling

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for lung cancer development. COPD induces activation of hypoxia-induced signaling, causing remodeling of surrounding microenvironmental cells also modulating the release and cargo of their extracellular vesicles (EVs). We aimed t...
