  schema:description "Large immune cells that engulf debris, microbes and dead cells and coordinate inflammation. Tumours recruit and retrain them: tumour-associated macrophages can make up half the cells in some tumours, where they feed blood-vessel growth and suppress T cells, and cancer cells display CD47 as a 'don't eat me' signal to avoid being engulfed."@en ;
