Cancer stem cells and tumor-associated macrophages as mates in tumor progression: mechanisms of crosstalk and advanced bioinformatic tools to dissect their phenotypes and interacti... by Francesco Verona, Sebastiano Di Bella, Roberto Schirano, Camilla Manfredi, Francesca Angeloro, Giulia Bozzari, Matilde Todaro, Matilde Todaro, Giuseppe Giannini, Giuseppe Giannini, Giorgio Stassi, Veronica Veschi

“…Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subset within the tumor mass significantly contributing to cancer progression through dysregulation of various oncogenic pathways, driving tumor growth, chemoresistance and metastasis formation. The aggressive behavior of CSCs is guided by several intracellular signaling pathways such as WNT, NF-kappa-B, NOTCH, Hedgehog, JAK-STAT, PI3K/AKT1/MTOR, TGF/SMAD, PPAR and MAPK kinases, as well as extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, and extracellular signaling molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, pro-angiogenetic and growth factors, which finely regulate CSC phenotype. …”
