Deskripsi

Macrophages in the tumour microenvironment (TME) acquire tumour-promoting functions upon M2 polarization. Here the authors show, in a mouse model of glioblastoma, that endothelial cells in the TME induce macrophage M2 polarization via IL-6 and that depletion of endothelial IL-6 improves survival.
