We are invested in understanding the role perivascular macrophages play in solid tumor progression and metastasis. Increasing evidence points towards functional specialization of niche-specific, subtissular macrophage subsets. Elucidating the transcriptional and epigenetic landscape of these macrophage subsets assists in generating a better understanding of the role these macrophages play in modulating the complex tumor milieu.
