A certain type of cell in the bone marrow known as bosteocalcin-expressing (Ocn+) osteoblasts,/b aid in the progression of tumor in patients with early stage lung cancer, reveals a new study.
Bone marrow derived cells have been shown to contribute to tumor progression, though many of the specific mechanisms through which this occurs remain unknown.
Here, Camilla Engblom et al. found that mice with lung tumors had a significantly higher bone mass than their healthy counterparts, a pattern that was also seen in lung cancer patients....
