The Role of Immunoresolvents in Atherosclerosis: A Mini‐Review on Their Biology and Therapeutic Opportunities

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Atherosclerosis is a lipid‐induced chronic inflammatory cardiovascular disorder denoted by the infiltration of immune cells and the agglomeration of lipids in the intima, the innermost layer, of the arteries of large and medium sizes.

Immunometabolic Dysregulation in Obesity: Integrating Macrophage Polarization, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Gut Microbiota Crosstalk

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity is characterized by chronic low‐grade systemic inflammation, in which adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) play a pivotal role in driving immune and metabolic dysfunction. Objective This review summarizes current evidence on the roles of ATMs in obese adipose tissue and examines how macrophage polarization and metabolic ...

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Activated protein C ameliorates diabetes-induced atherosclerosis by sustaining macrophage efferocytosis

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Macrophage efferocytosis, essential for the resolution of inflammation and plaque stability in atherosclerosis, is impaired in diabetes. Thrombomodulin (TM) and endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), key mediators of protein C activation (PC), have ...

The intricate interplay between ferroptosis and efferocytosis in cancer: unraveling novel insights and therapeutic opportunities

Frontiers in Oncology
The complex interplay between ferroptosis and efferocytosis in cancer has attracted significant interest recently. Efferocytosis, the process of eliminating apoptotic cells, is essential for preserving tissue homeostasis and reducing inflammation ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

The changing epidemiology of human type 2 diabetes–associated atherosclerosis: Pathophysiological mechanisms and emerging treatment possibilities

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 300, Issue 2, Page 131-152, August 2026.
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major global health concern strongly associated with atherosclerosis and subsequent macrovascular complications. These complications are the leading cause of death among T2D patients. Despite a decline in cardiovascular events over the last decade, individuals with T2D still have an approximately doubled risk ...

IRG1/itaconate enhances efferocytosis by activating Nrf2-TIM4 signaling pathway to alleviate con A induced autoimmune liver injury

Cell Communication and Signaling
Immune response gene 1 (IRG1) is highly expressed in mitochondria of macrophages in a pro-inflammatory state. IRG1 and its metabolites play important roles in infection, immune-related diseases and tumor progression by exerting resistance of pathogens ...

Experimental Models of Autoimmune Hepatitis: Disease Fidelity and Translational Relevance

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) remains difficult to study mechanistically in patients because disease initiation is rarely observed directly, the relevant autoantigens differ across subsets, and clinically meaningful outcomes such as chronic inflammation, fibrosis, relapse, and treatment response evolve over time.
