The promising therapeutic effects of metformin on metabolic reprogramming of cancer-associated fibroblasts in solid tumors

Abstract Tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes are exposed to many toxic metabolites and molecules in the tumor microenvironment (TME) that suppress their anti-tumor activity. Toxic metabolites, such as lactate and ketone bodies, are produced mainly by catabolic cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to feed...
