Cyr61 from adipose‐derived stem cells promotes colorectal cancer metastasis and vasculogenic mimicry formation via integrin αVβ5

Adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) play a vital role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Herein, we found that ADSCs isolated from CRC patients produced more cysteine‐rich 61 (Cyr61) than those from healthy donors, and the elevated serum Cyr61 levels we...
