Abstract excerpt
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a critical component of the immune response to cancer, and their role in modulating cancer progression is well-recognized. Macrophages express pattern-recognition receptors, including Class A scavenger receptors (SR-A), which are pivotal in regulating macrophage activation and polarization into distinct phenotypes. SR-A expression is generally correlated with altered...
