The influence of the microenvironment on tumour progression is becoming clearer. In this Review we address the role of an essential signalling pathway, that of transforming growth factor-β, in the regulation of components of the tumour microenvironment and how this contributes to tumour progression.
微环境对肿瘤进展的影响正变得越来越清晰。在这篇综述中,我们探讨了一个基本信号通路——转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)在肿瘤微环境成分调控中的作用,以及它如何促进肿瘤进展。
