What is Stromal?
Stroma usually refers to the connective tissue that supports an organ. Inflammation is the body's responce to injury or irritation. Inflammation is characterized with redness, increased temperature, and pain. So stromal inflammation means that the tissue that supports a particular organ was showing some signs of inflammation.
What is pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH)?
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign breast condition characterized by the proliferation of stromal cells that mimic vascular structures without true endothelial lining. It typically presents as a palpable mass or is incidentally found on imaging or histological examination. PASH is most commonly seen in premenopausal women and is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Although it can cause confusion in diagnosis, it generally requires no specific treatment apart from routine monitoring.
What is stromal Tissue?
Stromal tissue refers to the supportive connective tissue found in various organs, providing structure and support to the parenchymal cells, which are the functional cells of the organ. It is composed of a matrix of cells, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and extracellular components like collagen and elastin. Stromal tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of organs, as well as in processes like wound healing and inflammation. Its characteristics can vary significantly depending on the specific organ and its physiological needs.
How do stromal fibroblasts drive tumor development?
Stromal Fibroblasts produce the connective tissue that surrounds tumor cells. As cancer grows it demands more nutrients so more and more of these stromal cells sacrifice themselves to provide recycled nutrients to tumor cells. Without recycled nutrients provided by fibroblasts, tumor cells are more fragile and die. Researchers propose that available drugs (now on the market), which sever the "parasitic" connection between tumor cells and fibroblasts, may be effective therapeutics.
