Monocytes and macrophages are myeloid cells that have important innate immune functions. Macrophages reside in tissues and respond to infection by producing inflammatory mediators and engulfing ...

Over the past ten years, we have investigated the developmental origin and homeostasis of macrophages and the related cell types monocytes and dendritic cells. These cells play a major role in diverse ...

A single injection resulted in macrophage depletion that lasted more than 72 h. Interestingly, both T-cell and dendritic cell populations subsequently also decreased, indicating that the ...

For the longest time, researchers had been looking at dendritic cells as the main ... the resistant model had few monocytes, but was filled with suppressive macrophages, which are known to inhibit ...

Inflammatory processes are the body’s defence against local damage and disease. Inflammation involves the influx into organs of immune cells (white blood cells) from the blood. These cells deal with ...

Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during ...
