Interactions between metastatic cancer cells and the bone microenvironment are critical for cancer cell survival, outgrowth, and progression. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are an essential stromal cell type in bone that are appreciated for their impacts on cancer-induced bone disease, however, newer evidence suggests that MSCs possess extensive roles in cancer-bone crosstalk, including cancer cell dormancy, metabolic demands, and immune-oncology. Emerging evidence has also identified the importance of MSC tissue source and the influence of ageing when studying MSC biology. Combining these considerations together with developing technologies such as spatial transcriptomics will contribute to defining the molecular mechanisms underlying complex stroma-cancer interactions in bone and assist with identification of therapeutically tractable targets.
