After two weeks, the circulating stem cells had transformed into macrophages and endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. Now, the team is investigating whether a similar cell exists in the ...

Several lines of investigation have concentrated ... An interesting unaddressed problem is that if macrophage cell death is apoptotic, what cellular components are cleaning up the macrophages?

Macrophages are a central player in the innate immune system, which includes a diverse group of cells and acts as a first line of defence against microbial pathogens and cancer. As with any front ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide. Macrophages are important components ...

One of the main tricks that most tumors use is to manipulate a type of immune cell called a macrophage, causing it to protect the tumor from the rest of the immune system, recruit blood vessels ...

These cells deal with microbes and repair tissue damage. Two main sub-types of immune cells are T cells and macrophages. T cells are designed to recognise the molecular signatures of particular ...

Most of the human induced pluripotent stem cells stored at major cell line repositories and used in research harbor thousands of DNA errors, a study finds, highlighting the need for improved quality ...
