Peristromal niches protect lung cancers from targeted therapies through a combined effect of multiple molecular mediators

This study shows that stromal niches protect lung cancers from ALK inhibitors through multiple mechanisms, and targeting these mechanisms together is more effective than targeting them individually.

Paracrine enhancement of tumor cell proliferation provides indirect stroma-mediated chemoresistance via acceleration of tumor recovery between chemotherapy cycles.

The paper investigates how stromal factors indirectly enhance tumor chemoresistance by accelerating tumor recovery between chemotherapy cycles through paracrine signaling.
