Targeting stromal remodeling and cancer stem cell plasticity overcomes chemoresistance in triple negative breast cancer

Stromal cell recruitment, activation and crosstalk with cancer cells is poorly understood. Here, the authors demonstrate that cancer cell-derived Hedgehog ligand  triggers stromal remodeling that in turn induces a cancer-stem-cell like, drug-resistant phenotype of nearby cancer cells while treatment...
