Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have discovered a new form of immune memory. Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, adjust their molecular ...

Macrophages and microglia play crucial roles during central nervous system development, homeostasis and acute events such as infection or injury. The diverse functions of tissue macrophages and ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide. Macrophages are important components of the internal immune cells, which profoundly affects the internal ...

This important study reveals that disrupting fatty acid metabolism in macrophages significantly restricts the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, showing that impaired lipid processing triggers ...

The power of yeast genetics frequently depends on the insertion of selectable expression cassettes. The authors demonstrate that an unfortunate vulnerability of these cassettes lies in the inevitable ...

This mini-review summarizes the current evidence for the role of macrophage activation and polarization in inflammation and immune response pertinent to interstitial lung disease, specifically ...
