The tumor microenvironment is a complex system of various tumor cells, stromal cells, and immune cells. [1] The tumor microenvironment is a complex ecosystem surrounding a tumor, composed of cancer cells, stromal tissue (including blood vessels, immune cells, fibroblasts and signaling molecules) and the extracellular matrix.
The composition of monocyte-derived macrophages and tissue-resident macrophages in the tumor microenvironment depends on the tumor type, stage, size, and location, thus it has been proposed that TAM identity and heterogeneity is the outcome of interactions between tumor-derived, tissue-specific, and developmental signals.

Tumor stroma and extracellular matrix in hypoxia. Tumor hypoxia is the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen.As a tumor grows, it rapidly outgrows its blood supply, leaving portions of the tumor with regions where the oxygen concentration is significantly lower than in healthy tissues.
“That means the [colorectal cancer tumors] are chronically inflamed and that the microenvironment surrounding the tumor cells is likely immunosuppressed, allowing them to grow and progress.”
The tumor microenvironment, composed of stromal cells, immune cells and singaling molecules, supports invasion by creating good and favorable conditions for tumor cell migration. [20] For example, cancer- associated fibroblasts (CAFS) produce substances that remodel the ECM and promote cancer progression.
The Article also determined that low to moderate galectin-3 expression in the tumor correlated strongly with a positive response to ICI therapy. ICI resistance due to galectin-3 in the tumor microenvironment is also due to the galectin-3 glycoprotein occupying the antibody’s PD-1 receptor binding site.
Tumor-associated immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of breast cancer models. Cancer immunology (immuno-oncology) is an interdisciplinary branch of biology and a sub-discipline of immunology that is concerned with understanding the role of the immune system in the progression and development of cancer; the most well known application is cancer immunotherapy, which utilises the ...
ADG126 is an anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody that targets a unique CTLA-4 epitope on regulatory T cells (Tregs) within the tumor microenvironment. It combines potent intratumoral Treg depletion via strong ADCC/ADCP with partial CTLA-4 blockade to softly prime effector T cells, delivering powerful anti-tumor activity with reduced toxicity.
