Macrophages can alternate between two states: an inflammatory state for fighting infection and a non-inflammatory state for ...

At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences ...

Scientists have long known that white blood cells called macrophages accumulate in the lungs of people suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. What role macrophages play in developing the often-fatal lung ...

DENVER — Researchers at National Jewish Health and colleagues have completed the first study comparing lung macrophages in multiple models of lung injury. The research indicates that macrophages ...

A team of researchers at the University of Kentucky and Cincinnati Children's Hospital is delving deeper into the science behind how spiny mice can regenerate lost tissue. They are using what they ...

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that are among the body's first line of defense against infection. In addition to killing harmful microorganisms, macrophages typically can initiate a ...

Immunotherapy, which harnesses our body's own immune system to fight cancer, has revolutionized modern oncology. Yet despite ...

Finnish researchers show in a new study that pituitary macrophages, the immune cells located in the pituitary gland, help regulate hormonal balance. It is possible that in the future, macrophage cells ...

A publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B discusses how GRK2 inhibits Flt-1+ macrophage infiltration and its proangiogenic properties in rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an ...

When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat the ...
