The secretome from cancer and stromal cells contributes to the creation of a microenvironment, which in turn contributes to invasion and angiogenesis. Here, the authors compare the secretomes of immortalized normal fibroblasts and cancer-derived fibroblast and identify CLIC3 as a driver of cancer progression.
