Tumor associated macrophage × cancer cell hybrids may acquire cancer stem cell properties in breast cancer.
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers among women, and metastasis makes it lethal. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that acquire an alternatively activated macrophage (M2) phenotype may promote metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we exam...
