Macrophages are receiving increasing attention from angiogenic researchers. They influence blood vessel development during growth or tissue repair, and also during tumorigenesis. This Vascular Cell thematic series draws upon experts in this emerging field. Contributions cover tumor-associated myeloid cells, Wnt signaling in macrophages, macrophages and lymphangiogenesis, and a discussion of pro-angiogenic microglia active in retina. The Editor will consider the submission of non-commissioned articles for publication in this thematic series.
