Myeloid cells, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), are key players in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), driving immune suppression and influencing therapeutic responses. Understanding their generation, function, and potential as therapeutic targets is crucial for advancing cancer immunotherapy. This seminar will introduce innovative solutions for the efficient isolation, culture, and analysis of myeloid cells using Miltenyi Biotec’s advanced technologies.

Key topics include:
Precise isolation and characterization of myeloid cell subsets using MACS® Technology
Ex vivo culture and reprogramming of TAMs and MDSCs to study their functional plasticity
3D imaging and spatial mapping of myeloid-TME interactions with UltraMicroscope Blaze
Comprehensive functional assays to evaluate the immunosuppressive mechanisms of myeloid cells

This seminar will provide researchers with powerful tools to dissect the role of myeloid cells in cancer, identify novel intervention strategies, and develop approaches to reshape the TME for improved therapeutic outcomes.
