Article Synopsis
- Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key players in the tumor microenvironment, particularly in liver cancer, where different subsets of CAFs can influence cancer progression.
- A new subgroup of CAFs, called F5-CAF, has been identified, showing specific markers and a close association with cancer cells that exhibit stemness, suggesting a critical role in promoting tumor growth.
- The prevalence of F5-CAF in hepatocellular carcinoma is linked to poorer patient outcomes, highlighting its potential as a target for developing treatments aimed at disrupting CAF support for cancer stem cells.
