Fibroblast-Enhanced Tumour Microenvironment Signalling Promotes Adaptive Doxorubicin Tolerance in Heterotypic Melanoma Spheroids

These findings indicate that fibroblasts redirect chemotherapy responses toward a stress-adaptive, persister-like phenotype and establish fibroblast-containing 3D melanoma spheroids as a physiologically relevant platform for studying tumour microenvironment-mediated chemotherapy tolerance and stromal-tumour interactions.
