Researchers have found that colorectal cancer-associated fibroblasts can be altered using a gremlin 1-neutralising antibody or by overexpressing meflin.
Researchers have revealed that colorectal cancer tissues contain at least two types of fibroblasts – cancer-promoting fibroblasts and cancer-restraining fibroblasts. The team, from Nagoya University, Japan, found that the balance between the two is largely involved in…
