Macrophages in endocrine glands, with emphasis on pancreatic islets [PDF]
We review here the macrophages found in endocrine tissues, placing emphasis on those residing in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The islets represent the endocrine organ where macrophages have been examined in great detail and where our own ...
