Real-time imaging reveals a role for macrophage protrusive motility in melanoma invasion.

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages are primary cells of the innate immune system that mediate tumor progression. However, the motile behavior of macrophages and interactions with tumor cells are not well understood. Here, we exploit the optical transparency of larval zebrafish and perform real-time imaging of macrophage-melanoma interactions. We found that macrophages are highly motile in the tumor microenvironment. Macrophages extend...
