Stromal-driven and Amyloid β-dependent induction of neutrophil extracellular traps modulates tumor growth

Abstract

The tumor microenvironment is composed of many cell types that crosstalk to modulate local immunity. Here the authors show that Amyloid β proteins from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) induce neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) production by neutrophils, while NET feeds back to activate CAF, thereby implicating Amyloid β as a potential therapy target.
