Atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 controls branching morphogenesis in the developing mammary gland [PDF]
Macrophages are important regulators of branching morphogenesis during development and postnatally in the mammary gland. Regulation of macrophage dynamics during these processes can therefore have a profound impact on development.

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Alternative activation of macrophages by filarial nematodes is MyD88-independent [PDF]
Alternative macrophage activation is largely defined by IL-4Rα stimulation but the contribution of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling to this phenotype is not currently known.

Computational Approach to Identifying Universal Macrophage Biomarkers. [PDF]
Macrophages engulf and digest microbes, cellular debris, and various disease-associated cells throughout the body. Understanding the dynamics of macrophage gene expression is crucial for studying human diseases. As both bulk RNAseq and single cell RNAseq

The in silico macrophage: toward a better understanding of inflammatory disease [PDF]
Macrophages function as sentinel, cell-regulatory hubs capable of initiating, perpetuating and contributing to the resolution of an inflammatory response, following their activation from a resting state. Highly complex and varied gene expression programs

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.

Macrophages in wound healing: activation and plasticity. [PDF]
Macrophages are critically involved in wound healing, from dampening inflammation to clearing cell debris and coordinating tissue repair. Within the wound, the complexity of macrophage function is increasingly recognized, with adverse outcomes when ...

Clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages induces regulatory phenotype and involves stimulation of cd36 and platelet-activating factor receptor [PDF]
Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) induces macrophage differentiation towards a regulatory phenotype (IL-10high/IL-12p40low). CD36 is involved in the recognition of apoptotic cells (AC), and we have shown that the platelet-activating factor ...

Characterization of distinct subpopulations of hepatic macrophages in HFD/obese mice. [PDF]
The current dogma is that obesity-associated hepatic inflammation is due to increased Kupffer cell (KC) activation. However, recruited hepatic macrophages (RHMs) were recently shown to represent a sizable liver macrophage population in the context of ...

Mouse hepatitis virus neurovirulence: evidence of a linkage between S glycoprotein expression and immunopathology. [PDF]
Differences in disease outcome between the highly neurovirulent MHV-JHM and mildly neurovirulent MHV-A59 have been attributed to variations within the spike (S) glycoprotein.
