Cancer co-opts differentiation of B-cell precursors into macrophage-like cells

The tumour microenvironment has been shown to change the phenotypes and functionality of immune cells to enable tumour propagation. Here authors show that cancers can derail B cell development to give rise to macrophage-like cells, contributing to cancer progression and metastasis via disabling loca...

Description
Summary:The tumour microenvironment has been shown to change the phenotypes and functionality of immune cells to enable tumour propagation. Here authors show that cancers can derail B cell development to give rise to macrophage-like cells, contributing to cancer progression and metastasis via disabling local T cell response.
