*The implications*
These results position CAF niches—not just CAF types—as actionable units. Precision targeting of CAF-defined functional niches may rewire tumor–immune interactions and enhance therapeutic responses in breast cancer.
*The novelty*
Spatial context matters: immunomodulatory CAFs co-localize with immune cells, whereas myofibroblastic CAFs form a barrier around the tumor core, limiting immune infiltration. CAF transcriptional programs are shaped by their local cellular neighborhoods.
