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.
