Stromal WNTer Keeps the Tumor Cold and Drives Metastasis
Abstract
Carcinoma-associated fibroblast (CAF) infiltration confers poor clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) through mechanisms that are still unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Kasashima et al. report that loss of PKCζ engenders a SOX2/SFRP2-positive CAF subpopulation that increases CRC aggressiveness by creating an immunosuppressed environment.
