TNF-α induces endothelial–mesenchymal transition promoting stromal development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Abstract Endothelial–mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is an important source of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which facilitates tumour progression. PDAC is characterised by abundant CAFs and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Here, we show that TNF-α strongly induces human endothelial cells to...
