Live tumor imaging shows macrophage induction and TMEM-mediated enrichment of cancer stem cells during metastatic dissemination

Intravital imaging reveals macrophage-driven de novo induction of cancer stem cells in vivo, and their dramatic enrichment on dissemination through TMEM doorways. These findings provide a mechanism for the validated ability of TMEM doorway density to be prognostic for distant recurrence of metastati...
