Neuron-like macrophage differentiation via the APOE-TREM2 axis contributes to chronic pain in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
20 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Fresh insights indicate that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) may undergo neuron-like differentiation, potentially contributing to pain mechanisms. By examining the apolipoprotein E (APOE) together with the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), this...
