Abstract excerpt
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most prominent immune cells in the breast cancer microenvironment, and the protumor functions of TAMs are thought to affect cancer progression and resistance to anticancer therapy. Numerous studies using human breast cancer samples, cell lines, and murine breast cancer models have revealed details of the mechanisms by which the protumor functions of TAMs are activated....
