Macrophages (Mφ) are immune cells that play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immunity as they are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. Depending on the microenvironment and signals present, Mφ can polarize into either M1 or M2 phenotypes, with M1 macrophages exhibiting pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects, while M2 macrophages having immunosuppressive and tissue repair properties. Macrophages have been shown to play key roles in the development and progression or inhibition of various diseases, including cancer. For example, macrophages can stimulate tumor progression by promoting immunosuppression, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. This work aimed to investigate the effect of extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived from polarized macrophages on an
