Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) mediate the positive feedback loop of prostate tumor-bone interactions

Park Serk in

Advanced-stage prostate and breast cancer patients commonly develop bone metastases, accounting for significant clinical problems such as pain, fracture, immobility and death. Bone is comprised of diverse cell types that are potentially involved in metastatic progression. However, how cancer cells interact with these cells within the bone microenvironment to support their expansion and activity remains unclear. Recent data from our laboratory highlighted a novel feed-forward m...
