Tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor cells acts as an essential factor in cancer metastasis. Transforming growth factor ¦Â1 (TGF¦Â1) is a vital cytokine involved in migration and invasion of cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role and molecular mechanisms of TGF¦Â1 in TME %K TGF¦Â1 %K JAK/STAT3 %K MSCs-CAFs differentiation %K migration and invasion %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6615717/
