The authors generated transgenic mice in which macrophages in an area known as the marginal zone in the spleen were transiently deleted by the administration of diphtheria toxin (DT). In healthy ...

Gum disease caused by the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis is linked to worse multiple sclerosis (MS) in a mouse model of ...

Macrophages in the spleen make tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a powerful inflammation-producing molecule. When the researchers stimulated the vagus nerve -- a long nerve that goes from the base of ...

Macrophages in the spleen marginal zone around the follicles keep the ACs out, acting like the defensive line in football or a "final exclusion barrier," says John Mountz, M.D., Ph.D., professor ...

Blood-borne drugs are usually directed to the white pulp region of the spleen where they are exposed to lymphocytes and macrophages, the major cells present in the white pulp. Interactions between ...

The spleen is a key component of the immune system. It filters old blood cells, bacteria, tumor cells out of the blood and breaks them down. The macrophages then get rid of them. Breaking Bad star ...

Most research in this area has explored the bone marrow as a source of these pro-inflammatory cells, called macrophages, but some previous studies have suggested that the spleen is another source.

Also, there were reduced numbers of reparative macrophages in both the spleen and the heart. Altogether, says Halade, an associate professor in the UAB Department of Medicine Division of ...
