Origin of macrophages in PDAC. Macrophages in PDAC are derived from a mixed population of tissue-resident cells and circulating monocytes. HSC/monocyte-derived macrophages play a key role in regulating immune suppression and adaptive immunity, while embryonically-derived macrophages are important in promoting fibrosis and extracellular matrix remodeling in PDAC.
