Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma [PDF]
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is well known for its immune suppressive role, especially in solid tumors which are characterized by a thick, dense stroma. Apart from cell–cell interactions and biochemical signals, the tumor stroma is also characterized

Facilitation of Tumor Stroma-Targeted Therapy: Model Difficulty and Co-Culture Organoid Method
Background: Tumors, as intricate ecosystems, comprise oncocytes and the highly dynamic tumor stroma. Tumor stroma, representing the non-cancerous and non-cellular composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME), plays a crucial role in oncogenesis and ...
