Deskripsi
Expression and activation of Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in cancer associated fibroblasts have been associated with protumorigenic functions. Here the authors show that, in a model of colitis-induced colorectal cancer, HSF1 is activated in stromal fibroblasts in the early stages of inflammation, leading to extracellular matrix remodelling that sustains tumor initiation and progression.
