Deskripsi

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.
