Figure 2From: Cancer-associated fibroblasts provide a suitable microenvironment for tumor development and progression in oral tongue squamous cancerRepresentative cell morphology of CAFs, NFs, and tumor cells (OTSCC). Immunofluorescence was used to distinguish CAFs, NFs and OTSCC cells with antibodies that target α-SMA, fibronectin, and E-cadherin (a). Neither CAFs nor NFs grow or aggregate in matigel. Tca8113and CAL-27co-cultured with CAFs grow and aggregate better than that with NFs (b).Back to article page
