1451-Decoding the CAF–TAM Axis in the Tumor Microenvironment
This review article examines the CAF–TAM axis, a critical cellular partnership between cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated macrophages that drives malignancy. By integrating single-cell and spatial multi-omics, the authors illustrate how these cells coordinate extracellular matrix remodeling, metabolic adaptation, and immune evasion. The text details various specialized subpopulations, such as contractile myCAFs and immunosuppressive SPP1⁺ TAMs, which cluster together to form barriers against therapy. Beyond mere description, the source explores how epigenetic shifts and…
