Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a central role in the microenvironment of solid tumors, and recent advances in single-cell technologies have provided insights into their complexity and heterogeneity. Understanding the subsets and functions of CAFs can potentially lead to better therapeutic strategies for cancer.
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are central players in the microenvironment of solid tumors, affecting cancer progression and metastasis. CAFs have diverse phenotypes, origins and functions and consist of distinct subpopulations. Recent progress in single-cell RNA-sequencing technologies has enabled detailed characterization of the complexity and heterogeneity of CAF subpopulations in multiple tumor types. In this Review, we discuss the current understanding of CAF subsets and functions as elucidated by single-cell technologies, their functional plasticity, and their emergent shared and organ-specific features that could potentially be harnessed to design better therapeutic strategies for cancer. Lavie et al. review the recent advances in the field of cancer-associated fibroblasts, including their tissue-specific complexity and overall plasticity, as revealed by single-cell technologies.
