Inability of Macrophages To Penetrate Tumors Could Explain Cell Therapy Failures

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.
