Tumour Microenvironment-Mediated Drug Resistance in Neuroblastoma

Background Research Background: Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can lead to treatment resistance. This paper reveals that the Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β1 produced within the TME increases drug resistance in neuroblastoma (NB) cells. Drug resistance is the main cause of cancer treatment failure, usual...
