Intercellular cross-talk through lineage-specific gap junction of cancer-associated fibroblasts related to stromal fibrosis and prognosis

Abstract Stromal fibrosis in cancer is usually associated with poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance. It is thought to be caused by fibroblasts; however, the exact mechanism is not yet well understood. The study aimed to identify lineage-specific cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subgroup and...
