F11R and cancer: Taken together with reports revealing that microglia are essential drivers of murine glioma formation and maintenance [1,2,5,8,9], along with studies in other cancer types highlighting the predictive value of stromal gene expression patterns in predicting patient outcome [40,41], the identification of F11R as a marker of a subset of brain macrophages may facilitate the detection of critical microenvironmental factors suitable for future stroma-directed glioma therapy.
