摘　　要：Liu et al. report the direct interaction of tumor-associated macrophages with cancer stem cells (CSC) through specific ligand-receptor binding (LSECtin-BTN3A3), and how targeting this receptor-ligand interaction decimates the CSC pool. Cancer stem cells (CSC)1 have long been viewed as something akin to primordial matter: at times self-starters able to gen erate an entire tumor when only a few hundred of them are injected, and at other times sleepers that can weather the attack of a chemotherapy treatment only to raise their ugly heads years later.
