Changes in macrophage functions and gene expression during tumor growth

Functions and phenotypes change in macrophages (Mφ) during tumor growth. Although analyzing functional and phenotypic changes are important in understanding the mechanism of tumor-induced immunosuppression, it is necessary to look beneath the surface and expose the mechanisms behind these changes. F...
