Abstract
Cancer cells can directly stimulate the generation and recruitment of tumor-supportive bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs), including neutrophils, via secreted factors. A new study demonstrates that lung tumors also remotely activate bone-residing osteoblasts, which in turn promote neutrophil production. This is a multistep mechanism of establishing a supportive tumor microenvironment.
