Abstract
In this issue of JEM, Raz et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20180818) identify a subset of bone marrow–derived cells that uniquely promotes breast cancer angiogenesis and tumor growth. The existence of functional heterogeneity among stromal populations motivates further fundamental and therapeutic inquiries.Keywords
