Close interactions between mesenchymal stem cells and neuroblastoma cell lines lead to tumor growth inhibition.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted much interest in oncology since they exhibit marked tropism for the tumor microenvironment and support or suppress malignant cell growth depending on the tumor model tested. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MSCs in the control of the g...
