Denis Wirtz: Migrating monocytes in TME

Denis Wirtz, Vice Provost of Research at Johns Hopkins University, shared on X:

“Macrophages are terrible at migrating. In contrast, their precursor cells – monocytes – are highly motile.

Monocytes exploit interleukin 6 (IL-6) secreted by cancer cells and themselves to migrate fast and promote cancer cell proliferation. More here.”

High-motility pro-tumorigenic monocytes drive macrophage enrichment in the tumor microenvironment
