Cancer associated fibroblasts drive epithelial to mesenchymal transition and classical to basal change in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells with loss of IL-8 expression

Samantha R. Guinn, Brayan Perez, Joseph A. Tandurella…·Jacquelyn W. Zimmerman

The paper investigates how cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) influence tumor cell behavior in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by driving EMT and altering cell subtypes, with IL-8 playing a key modulatory role.

Mapping the breast tumor microenvironment: proximity analysis reveals spatial relationships between macrophage subtypes and metastasis-initiating cancer cells

Eloïse M. Grasset, Atul M. Deshpande, Jae Woo Lee…·Won Jin Ho

The paper uses spatial analysis to show metastasis-initiating cancer cells in breast tumors are closely associated with specific macrophage subtypes, suggesting these interactions promote metastasis.
