Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have identified two enzymes that are involved in macrophage polarization, one of the key factors affecting fibrosis. The group’s findings, reported in Cell ...

In a recent study published in Cell, researchers examined the wealth of information available regarding the heterogeneity of tissue macrophages. They pursued a conceptual framework for better ...

Macrophages, the immune system’s front-line scavenger cells, do more than simply digest dead cells. A new study published in ...

Macrophages, as integral components of the immune system, exhibit diverse roles due to their ability to assume various ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a poor prognosis, and no effective treatment has been established to date. Understanding the mechanisms that prevent the progression of AKI is crucial. In ...

In a study that builds on earlier research that identified macrophages as essential to regeneration in the axolotl, a highly regenerative salamander, a scientist has identified the source of these ...

Study finds that resident macrophages maintain eye pressure by clearing buildup in drainage tissues. Their loss increases ...

The understanding of how macrophages regulate their response to toxic particles via two independent pathways could uncover therapeutic opportunities to quell inflammation BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Human ...

With age, the brain’s ability to clear aggregating proteins such as Aβ wanes. In the November 9 Nature, researchers led by Jonathan Kipnis at Washington University in St. Louis suggest a reason why.

We investigated the glioblastoma glycocalyx as a tumor-intrinsic immune suppressor. We detected increased expression of both tumor-associated truncated O-linked glycans and their receptor, macrophage ...
