The Effect of Wnt5a Signaling on Macrophage Phenotype
Abstract
The Wnt5a gene has been shown to have both tumor-suppressive and tumor-progressive activities in human cancers. To better understand its function in the tumor microenvironment, the effect of Wnt5a protein isoforms on macrophages was studied in vitro.
