Primary tumors release ITGBL1-rich extracellular vesicles to promote distal metastatic tumor growth through fibroblast-niche formation
Mechanisms regulating the formation of pre-metastatic niches remain poorly understood. Here, the authors show that ITGBL1-containing extracellular vesicles derived from primary colorectal cancer cells activate the production of inflammatory cytokines by resident fibroblasts in distant organs, promot...
