Functional Genetic Screens Reveal Key Pathways Instructing the Molecular Phenotypes of Tumor-Associated Macrophages
4 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) display remarkable functional heterogeneity, yet the molecular mechanisms driving their diverse phenotypes remain elusive. Using CRISPR screens in primary macrophages, we identified tumor-derived factors, including lactic acid, prostaglandin E2, and GM-CSF, as key modulators of TAM polarization. These factors interacted cooperatively and antagonistically to shape distinct TAM...
