Immune cells play a pivotal role in the establishment, growth, and progression of tumors at primary and metastatic sites. Macrophages, in particular, play a critical role in suppressing immune responses and promoting an anti-inflammatory environment through both direct and indirect cell-cell interactions. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying such interactions is limited due to a lack of reliable tools for studying transient interactions between cancer cells and macrophages within the tumor microenvironment.
