From: Necrotic and apoptotic adipocytes in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment supply triglycerides to induce cisplatin resistance in the metastatic lymph nodes of head and neck carcinoma

Fig. 8: Schematic diagram of this study.

The interactions of adipocytes and head and neck carcinoma cells in the metastatic neck nodes are explored. Adipocytes supply triglycerides to tumor cells, and this role could be strengthened in the hypoxia tumor microenvironment due to the death of adipocytes.
