Macrophages use cell‑volume changes to sense danger, reprogram gene expression, and heighten inflammatory and antiviral responses.

As part of the body's first line of defense against foreign invaders, macrophages play an integral role in the innate immune ...

Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such ...

Researchers created hybrid macrophages that support multiple stages of bone healing, including regeneration and ...

When the human heart is damaged by a heart attack, stiff scar tissue eventually forms around the affected areas. This weakens ...

Whole-mount immunolabeling enabled high-resolution visualization of peripheral nerve infiltration patterns within melanoma, ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center have identified a ...

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 ...

Macrophages are the specialized phagocytic cells that respond to toxic particle depositions to exert inflammatory and clearance responses. These long-lived immune cells engulf foreign substances like ...

Type 2 diabetes can turn immune cells that help with tissue repair and anti-inflammatory responses into triggers of chronic ...
