Intercellular transfer of small RNAs from astrocytes to lung tumor cells induces resistance to chemotherapy

Brain metastases are resistant to chemotherapy and carry a poor prognosis. Studies have shown that tumor cells are surrounded by activated astrocytes, whose cytoprotective properties they exploit for protection from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. The mechanism of such astrocytic protection is poorl...
