Interest in pulmonary macrophage research has greatly increased as is now possible not only to work with the easily accessible alveolar macrophages but also with macrophages prepared from lung tissue, such as the interstitial macrophages, dendritic cells and intravascular macrophages.

Immunological memory is a crucial part of the immune defense that allows organisms to respond against previously encountered pathogens or other harmful factors. Immunological memory is based on the establishment of epigenetic modifications of the genome.

Summary: Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) plays a major role in mitochondrial fusion and in the maintenance of mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites. Given that macrophages play a major role in inflammation, we studied the contribution of Mfn2 to the ...

Ursolic acid enhances macrophage autophagy and attenuates atherogenesis [PDF]
Macrophage autophagy has been shown to be protective against atherosclerosis. We previously discovered that ursolic acid (UA) promoted cancer cell autophagy.

Macrophages residing in different organs have diverse gene-expression programs. Mass et al. (2016) propose that this diversity develops "at home"-within those organs-after the recruitment of a common precursor that had not made prior commitments to diversity.

Exploiting macrophage autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis as a therapy for atherosclerosis [PDF]
Macrophages specialize in removing lipids and debris present in the atherosclerotic plaque. However, plaque progression renders macrophages unable to degrade exogenous atherogenic material and endogenous cargo including dysfunctional proteins and ...

Background Tannases are tannin-degrading enzymes that have been described in fungi and bacteria as an adaptative mechanism to overcome the stress conditions associated with the presence of these phenolic compounds.

A cardinal role for cathepsin D in co-ordinating the host-mediated apoptosis of macrophages and killing of pneumococci [PDF]
The bactericidal function of macrophages against pneumococci is enhanced by their apoptotic demise, which is controlled by the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1.

Leukocyte-Specific Morrbid Promotes Leukocyte Differentiation and Atherogenesis
Monocyte-to-M0/M1 macrophage differentiation with unclear molecular mechanisms is a pivotal cellular event in many cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis.

Treating Macrophages with Anti-inflammatory Nanoparticles as a Strategy to Improve Muscle Repair [PDF]
The macrophage is an immune cell that is involved in host defense. More recent research, however, has revealed that they also play a central role in mediating the skeletal muscle regenerative process.
