Abstract
Macrophages infiltrate hypoxic tumor regions, where they promote angiogenesis and immunosuppression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Casazza and colleagues report that tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) entry into avascular tumor areas is regulated by Semaphorin 3A/Neuropilin-1 signaling; interference with this pathway entraps TAMs in oxygenated areas, preventing their tumorigenic function.Entities:
