Summary: Every year, the American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States, with the latest data showing a significant decline in lung cancer mortality, while prostate cancer mortality has plateaued and breast and colorectal cancer mortality have slowed. Improvements in treatment have accelerated progress against lung cancer, leading to a record drop in overall cancer mortality.

Axl and Mertk Receptors Cooperate to Promote Breast Cancer Progression by Combined Oncogenic Signaling and Evasion of Host Antitumor Immunity

Viralkumar Davra et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that targeting Axl expressed on tumor cells and Mertk in the tumor microenvironment could enhance current immunotherapies. Axl and Mertk have distinct functional activities in breast cancer, affecting host antitumor response.

Composition, Spatial Characteristics, and Prognostic Significance of Myeloid Cell Infiltration in Pancreatic Cancer

Sara A. Vayrynen et al.

Summary: The study revealed a diverse set of myeloid cells within the PDAC tumor microenvironment, which are distributed heterogeneously across patient tumors. Beyond cell density, the spatial locations of immune cells are also associated with patient outcomes, underscoring the potential role of spatially resolved myeloid cell subtypes as quantitative biomarkers for PDAC prognosis and therapy.

Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Origin, Polarization, Function, and Reprogramming

Sen Yang et al.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly malignancy that can only be cured by surgery in its early stages, but recurrence remains a high possibility. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a crucial role in PDAC development, promoting tumor behaviors such as tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Erythroblastic Island Macrophages Shape Normal Erythropoiesis and Drive Associated Disorders in Erythroid Hematopoietic Diseases

Wei Li et al.

Summary: Erythroblastic islands (EBIs) are specialized microenvironments for erythropoiesis, consisting of a central macrophage and developing erythroid cells. EBI macrophages play a crucial role in supporting erythropoiesis, and dysfunction may lead to certain erythroid hematological disorders.

AXL Is a Key Factor for Cell Plasticity and Promotes Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer

Wenting Du et al.

Summary: The study found that AXL is highly expressed in PDA tumor cells and correlates with markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. AXL deficiency extended survival, reduced primary and metastatic burden, and enhanced sensitivity to gemcitabine in mice. AXL-positive poorly differentiated tumor cells were crucial for PDA progression and metastasis, highlighting the potential of AXL as a therapeutic target.

Single-cell characterization of macrophages in glioblastoma reveals MARCO as a mesenchymal pro-tumor marker

Andrew X. Chen et al.

Summary: This study identified a pro-tumor subpopulation of bone marrow-derived macrophages characterized by MARCO, which is exclusively found in IDH1-wild-type glioblastomas. MARCO expression is associated with worse prognosis and mesenchymal subtype, and significantly altered during treatment with anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitors, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for preventing their recruitment.
