Cover Story: The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a loss of balance of yin-yang (Yin indicates the tumor-promoting cells, and Yang suggests the anti-tumor cells). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) mediate the increase in “Ying” cells. Nanomaterials aimed at TAMs have the potential to transform TME, re-balancing the Yin and Yang. This review discusses TAMs' role in the TME, various treatment approaches, targeting techniques, and the current trends and challenges in TAM-focused cancer therapy. View this paper
