Abstract

The tumour microenvironment comprises a variety of cell types that interact with malignant cells, influencing both cancer progression and the patient response to therapy. Given the intricate interactions among these components, assessing how signalling pathways contribute to cancer progression by acting on different components of the TME is particularly complex. Multiplexed imaging allows simultan…
