“…LDs have now been suggested to be involved in all processes of cancer development, including initiation, promotion, and progression [ 111 ]. The hypotheses regarding LD function in cancer cells are numerous, i.e., promoting tumor proliferation [ 153 , 154 , 155 ], driving epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) [ 115 , 156 , 157 ], mediating radio-resistance [ 158 , 159 ] and chemo-resistance [ 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 ], maintaining cancer cell stemness [ 164 , 165 , 166 ], and avoiding immune destruction [ 167 , 168 , 169 ]. Nevertheless, these hypotheses need to be experimentally validated.…”
