Fig. 8From: Loss of exosomal miR-3188 in cancer-associated fibroblasts contributes to HNC progressionA schematic diagram of proposed mechanism. The conversion from NFs to CAFs causes a reduction of miR-3188. Subsequently, the low level of miR-3188 in the CAF-derived exosomes contributes to the derepression of BCL2, which promotes the aggression of HNC cellsBack to article page
