Within six days, the cells differentiate, or transform, into alveolar macrophage-like cells. The generated cells are 94% genetically similar to human alveolar macrophages collected from lung washes.

This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...

When the macrophages’ ability to consume dying cancer cells or Upd3 production was decreased, tumor growth was significantly ...

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated for macrophage cell culture. Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, was used to inhibit prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ...

Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer ...

Embryonic macrophages regulate the number of stem cells. Although they have a similar morphology (external characteristics), these macrophages differ significantly in terms of their function.

Macrophages behave like mural cells to promote healing of ischemic muscle injury Date: June 6, 2024 Source: Uppsala University Summary: Innate immune cells including macrophages and neutrophils ...

Macrophages are cells vital to the immune system and could possibly inform cell-based therapies for a variety of medical conditions. However, realizing the full potential of macrophage therapies ...

Embryonic macrophages – specialized phagocytes of the immune system – influence the formation of blood stem cells and thus the lifelong production of blood cells. They play a crucial role in ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, Finnish researchers show that pituitary macrophages, the immune cells located in the pituitary gland, help regulate hormonal balance. It is possible that ...
