Hepatic stellate cells promote structural and functional remodeling of three-dimensional hepatocellular carcinoma coculture spheroids

Abstract Background Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are major regulators of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor microenvironment, contributing to extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor progression, and therapeutic resistance. Although three-dimensional (3D) coculture spheroid...
