Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as a Potential Platform for Vaccine Development against Tuberculosis
Pharmaceutics, 2020 The increasing emergence of new strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) highly resistant to antibiotics constitute a public health issue, since tuberculosis still constitutes the primary cause of death in the world due to bacterial infection. Mtb has

Ratio of CD68/CD163 in Breast Carcinoma with and without Axillary Lymph Node Metastatic
Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2021 Tumor and its microenvironment can interact each other. Macrophage is part of tumor microenvironment. New drugs targeting specific superficial receptor of macrophage or cytokine of macrophage polarization have been found.

Atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 controls branching morphogenesis in the developing mammary gland [PDF]
, 2016 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.

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Treating Macrophages with Anti-inflammatory Nanoparticles as a Strategy to Improve Muscle Repair [PDF]
, 2019 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.

Characterization of distinct subpopulations of hepatic macrophages in HFD/obese mice. [PDF]
, 2014 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 ...
