Aberrant crosstalk between cancer stem cells and their microenvironment triggers angiogenesis and TGFΞ² signalling, creating conditions that are conducive for hijacking leptin and leptin receptor signalling, which in turn launches downstream PI3KβAKTβmTOR signalling during the benign-to-malignant transition.
