Fibrocytes boost tumor-supportive phenotypic switches in the lung cancer niche via the endothelin system

Fibrocytes are monocyte-derived cells implicated in wound healing. Here, the authors utilise single cell RNA-seq, genetic ablation and multiplexed imaging to identify a fibrocyte population in lung cancer models, and use human lung cancer coculture systems to highlight their potential to modulate mi...

Description
Summary:Fibrocytes are monocyte-derived cells implicated in wound healing. Here, the authors utilise single cell RNA-seq, genetic ablation and multiplexed imaging to identify a fibrocyte population in lung cancer models, and use human lung cancer coculture systems to highlight their potential to modulate microenvironmental niche and sensitivity to endothelin blockade.
