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

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

Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such as macrophages, in medium-sized bioreactors. These immune cells can be ...

Cancer specialists have long known that anemia, caused by a lack of healthy red blood cells, can arise when cancer metastasizes to the bone, but it’s been unclear why. A research team led by Princeton ...

Recently these monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, or Mo-AMs, were identified as key drivers of lung fibrosis disease progression. However, the mechanisms of their pro-fibrotic behavior and ...

UCLA researchers have discovered that macrophages retain memories of previous immune threats due to the persistence of immune signaling molecules within tissues. Researchers from the University of ...
