Vascular niche IL-6 induces alternative macrophage activation in glioblastoma through HIF-2α. [PDF]
Spatiotemporal regulation of tumor immunity remains largely unexplored. Here we identify a vascular niche that controls alternative macrophage activation in glioblastoma (GBM).

Oxidized LDL induces alternative macrophage phenotype through activation of CD36 and PAFR [PDF]
OxLDL is recognized by macrophage scavenger receptors, including CD36; we have recently found that Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor (PAFR) is also involved.

Macrophage depletion disrupts immune balance and energy homeostasis. [PDF]
Increased macrophage infiltration in tissues including white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle has been recognized as a pro-inflammatory factor that impairs insulin sensitivity in obesity.

Polarization of macrophages toward M2 phenotype is favored by reduction in iPLA2β (group VIA phospholipase A2)* [PDF]
Macrophages are important in innate and adaptive immunity. Macrophage participation in inflammation or tissue repair is directed by various extracellular signals and mediated by multiple intracellular pathways.

Investigating the suitability of high content image analysis as a tool to assess the reversibility of foamy alveolar macrophage phenotypes in vitro. [PDF]
Many potential inhaled medicines fail during development due to the induction of a highly vacuolated or “foamy” alveolar macrophage phenotype response in pre-clinical studies.

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.

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 ...

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.

The significance of macrophage polarization subtypes for animal models of tissue fibrosis and human fibrotic diseases. [PDF]
The systemic and organ-specific human fibrotic disorders collectively represent one of the most serious health problems world-wide causing a large proportion of the total world population mortality.

Rapamycin but not FK506 inhibits the proliferation of mononuclear phagocytes induced by colony-stimulating factors [PDF]
FK506, CsA, and rapamycin are potent inhibitors of T lymphocyte activation; relatively little is known of their effects on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage.
