TRAF4 promotes lung cancer aggressiveness by modulating tumor microenvironment in normal fibroblasts

Abstract Normal fibroblasts surrounding tumor cells play a crucial role in cancer progression through formation of the tumor microenvironment. Because factors secreted from normal fibroblasts can modulate the tumor microenvironment, it is necessary to identify key factors associated with regulation...
