Cancer‐stromal cell fusion as revealed by fluorescence protein tracking

Abstract

We previously determined that cancer‐stromal interaction was a direct route to tumor cell heterogeneity progression, since cancer‐stromal cell fusion in coculture resulted in the creation of heterogeneous clones of fusion hybrid progeny. In this report, we modified the cancer‐stromal coculture system to establish optimal experimental conditions for investigating cell fusion machinery and the mechanism of heterogeneity progression.
