摘要

Hypoxia confers to macrophages angiogenic and immunosuppressive properties which promote tumor growth and progression. Preventing the migration of macrophages into hypoxic tumor regions hinders angiogenesis and restores the tumor-suppressive properties of these immune cells. We have recently uncovered a neuropilin 1- and semaphorin 3A-dependent signaling pathway that defines the repositioning of macrophages to hypoxic tumor niches, a discovery that generates new options for the development of complementary anticancer treatments.
