Image: On the left, a breast cancer type called luminal; on the right, a type called triple-negative/basal. The luminal microenvironment has less fibrosis (scar tissue, colored purple) and contains few inflammatory cells embedded within these fibrotic areas or in the surrounding fatty tissue (white). The triple-negative microenvironment contains more inflammatory cells and more fibrosis (Photo courtesy of Egeblad Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Proteins in the Tumor Microenvironment Influence Progression of the Disease

Image: Fluorescent microscopic image of fibrotic scars in fat tissue. In this image, the fat cells are not labeled and appear as black holes surrounded by green collagen (the main component of scar tissue). Cell nuclei are blue (Photo courtesy of Dr. Lorin Olson, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation).

Formation of Adipose Scar Tissue Begins with Activation of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha Signaling

Researchers have found a link between activation of PDGFRalpha signaling in perivascular cells and the formation of scar tissue that can lead to metabolic dysfunction and development of chronic diseases such as diabetes.  More...
