We have recently demonstrated that a subset of bone marrow-derived CD11b+CD13+ myeloid cells accumulate within neoplastic lesions in several murine models of transplantable cancer to promote angiogenesis. If these findings were confirmed in clinical settings, CD11b+CD13+ myeloid cells could become a non-malignant target for the development of novel anticancer regimens.en-USangiogenesistumorCD13mouse modelsbone marrow-derived cellsJournal Article2015-02-0210.4161/onci.27716
