Ontogeny of Tumor-Associated Macrophages
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) represent the main immune cell population of the tumor microenvironment in most cancer. For decades, TAM have been the focus of intense investigation to understand how they modulate the tumor microenvironment and their ...

Tumor Associated Macrophages in Kidney Cancer
Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are an important element of tumor stroma. They originate from blood monocytes attracted by chemokines and cytokines produced by tumor cells and, being instructed by tumor microenvironment, develop into potent tumor ...

"Re-educating" tumor-associated macrophages by targeting NF-kappaB [PDF]
The nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathway is important in cancer-related inflammation and malignant progression. Here, we describe a new role for NF-kappaB in cancer in maintaining the immunosuppressive phenotype of tumor-associated ...

Macrophages as a source of tumoricidal activity (tumor-necrotizing factor) [PDF]
Macrophage-enriched peritoneal exudate cells from mice infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, macrophage-like tumor cells (PU 5-1.8), and peritoneal macrophages propagated in vitro with macrophage growth factor released tumoricidal activity into the ...

Tumor-induced myeloid cell plasticity toward lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis contributes to tumor progression by regulating interstitial fluid pressure, transporting immune cells to the tumor site and providing a route for metastatic dissemination.

Macrophages exposed continuously to lipopolysaccharide and other agonists that act via toll-like receptors exhibit a sustained and additive activation state [PDF]
Background: Macrophages sense microorganisms through activation of members of the Toll-like receptor family, which initiate signals linked to transcription of many inflammation associated genes.
