Ontogeny of intestinal intratumoural macrophages and their contribution in cancer regulation by Soncin, Irene

“…In contrast to their LP counterparts, the intratumoural F4/80(hi) macrophages are able to self-renew and lose the bone marrow dependency. Since their depletion via CSF1R blockade diminishes the tumour burden, our data underline the potential of these tumour-promoting intestinal macrophages as an attractive target for successful cancer immunotherapies.…”
