Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Biomedical Science, researchers investigate whether M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-Exos) could prevent inflammation-associated damage during ...

NETs promote macrophage expression of T-cell chemokines and subsequently facilitate cytotoxic CD8+ T cell infiltration and granzyme B production, which drives kidney fibrosis in obstructive ...

Liver transplants save the lives of many people, but the procedure can result in severe complications. One of these common side effects is liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI), in which the oxygen ...

The research was led by Prof. Fuping Zhang from the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Jian Song from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's ...

Even its name is a testament to how enigmatic the tingible macrophage has been. Tingible, which means stainable, certainly gives no clues to its functions – but was, at least, one thing that was known ...

The effects of sargramostim and filgrastim on hematopoietic cells are described. Filgrastim is a lineage-specific colonystimulating factor (CSF), mainly affecting neutrophils. In addition to enhancing ...

Cholesterol biosynthetic intermediates, such as lanosterol and desmosterol, are emergent immune regulators of macrophages in response to inflammatory stimuli or lipid overloading, respectively.

Macrophages and other immune cells are the natural frontline immune warriors of our body, defending the body against invading pathogens and cancer cells. Yet despite their innate "combat" capabilities ...
