eh?
Is the last sentence raises more questions than it answers. I'd fix it if I knew the answer but I don't ... Anyone else? Here it is as it stands today 9/22/10: "The loss of these stromal growth factors when the cancer moves throughout the body prevents the cancer from invading other organs."

It seems some information is missing regarding the effect of basal cell carcinomas on stromal cells. In short this makes basal cell carcinomas non-malignant tumors, not cancer. I don't think that's true. It's called "skin cancer". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davea0511 (talk • contribs) 03:23, 25 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Basal cell cancers are generally harmless (unlike melanoma). I think this is an interesting observation and would like to see it within the context of a larger discussion of the role of stroma in cancer and ALSO a citation. It makes total sense to me, and I'm assuming it's correct. But it needs a reference and some context.  Eperotao (talk) 20:24, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

multipotent?

redundant content with MSC article
Hi everyone, I noticed that there is another article specifically for MSCs. This article here should probably be more general about stromal cells and then we could just link to the detailed article about MSCs. The part about the immunoregulatory mechanisms of MSCs would also need a lot more editing but we could instead just delete it here and expand it in the MSC article. What do you think?
