Description preview

Project Summary/Abstract
Fibrosis is a hallmark of cancer that promotes proliferation, metastasis, and immune evasion by altering the

tumor stroma which accounts for up to 90% of tumor mass. In fibrosis, pathogenic departure from homeostasis

results in the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) by myofibroblasts, creating discrete…
