Cancer-associated fibroblasts in the invasive tumour front promote the metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma through MFAP5 upregulation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors characterized primary CAFs from different spatial locations of tumours and found that CAFs derived from the invasive front (CAFs-F) had a greater ability to promote tumour invasion than CAFs-S. They also showed that the expression of MFAP5, encoding microfibril associated protein 5, was dramatically increased in CAFs and that this increase was correlated with poor survival.
