How normal cells fuel tumor growth

A new study has discovered how normal cells in tumors can fuel cancer progression. The study examines what happens when normal cells called fibroblasts in tumors lose an important tumor-suppressor gene. The findings suggest new strategies for controlling tumor growth, they provide insight into the mechanisms that control the co-evolution of cancer cells and their surrounding normal cells in tumors, and they demonstrate how this gene normally suppresses cancer development.
