Remodelling of the bone marrow microenvironment by stromal hyaluronan modulates the malignancy of breast cancer cells

Abstract Background Hyaluronan (HA) is an abundant component of the bone marrow (BM) extracellular matrix. Here, we investigated the abnormal deposition of HA in the BM microenvironment and its remodelling in mediating the malignancy of breast cancer cells (BCCs). Methods BCCs were transplanted into...
