In diseases due to exposure to toxic particles like gout, macrophages elicit separate pathways for inflammation and lysosomal ...

The term "macrophage" conjures images of a hungry white blood cell gobbling invading bacteria. However, macrophages do much more than that: Not only do they act as antimicrobial warriors ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow. Embryonic macrophages ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute have succeeded in generating the lung's most important immune cell, the alveolar macrophage, in the lab. The cell culture model will make it much ...

Innate immune cells, including macrophages and neutrophils, have unique properties that allow them to quickly accumulate in large numbers at the site of infection or injury. A study from ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute report they have created a new cell culture model for human alveolar macrophages in the lab. The model was developed to improve research for lung ...

Innate immune cells including macrophages and neutrophils have unique properties that allows them to quickly accumulate in large numbers at the site of infection or injury. A new study from ...

Macrophage cells are the immune system’s frontline soldiers, early on the scene to protect the body from foreign invaders. These cells answer the immune system's critical question for the rest of its ...

The team suggests that identifying an early pathogenic macrophage cell/gene signature in the RA joint inflammatory environment represents a unique opportunity for early diagnosis and therapeutic ...
