“…Mainly fibroblasts produce the matrix and regulate matrix remodeling, but in cancer, the tumor matrix also originates from cancer cells [ 63 ]. An enriched distribution of fibrin in tumor tissues obtained from high-grade non-small cell lung cancer was demonstrated, and extracellular fibrin was associated with cancer progression, cancer stemness and chemotherapy resistance [ 64 ]. Thus, despite its relative under-representation, understanding the role of FN in the ECM is crucial, especially in contexts such as wound healing [ 65 ], inflammation, and tumor progression [ 64 ], where its presence and transient nature can significantly influence cell behavior and tissue dynamics [ 66 ].…”
