Cellular Immunology, 1983
It is a pleasure and a privilege to be here today to honor Lewis Thomas. As I look out on this distinguished audience and see so many good friends, it brings on an attack of nostalgia for the early sixties on the sixth floor of Building D in Bellevue. Those years with Jerry and Lew were some of the most exciting and satisfying of my career. The sixties

Atherosclerosis and Macrophages
Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1989Atherosclerosis is undoubtedly a disease of many facets and in this review we have merely touched one angle of this issue. The best‐established cause of the disease is hyper‐cholesterolemia. Since the important role of macrophages in lipoprotein metabolism has been confirmed, current interest is focused on the role of macrophages in atherosclerosis ...

The alveolar macrophage is one of the few tissue macrophage populations readily accessible to study both in the human and in animals. Since harvesting of these cells by bronchoalveolar lavage was first described in 1961, alveolar macrophages have been extensively investigated.

Macrophages and the glucocorticoids
Journal of Neuroimmunology, 1992Macrophages fulfill such functions as (i) housekeeping and scavenging, (ii) protective and defense, and (iii) memory. Glucocorticoids are hormones also used as anti-inflammatory and immuno-suppressive drugs. They act on the many functions of macrophages, mainly by interfering with functions (ii) and (iii).

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1994
Abstract Macrophages are supposed to play a key role in inflammatory and tumor angiogenesis. Their importance derives from (1) their ubiquitous presence in normal and especially inflamed tissues, (2) their potential to become activated in response to appropriate stimuli, and (3) their repertoire of secretory products.

Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark of all forms of inflammatory and non-inflammatory renal injury. However, the classical view of macrophages as cells that cause injury has been superseded with evidence of their heterogeneous role, i.e. with involvement in all stages of the inflammatory process including tissue repair and healing.

The role of macrophages is essential in the development of a normal immune response. Not only are these cells involved in the initiation of this response by presenting antigens to lymphocytes and by producing Interleukin I, but they also participate in the various phenomena of cellular co-operation and regulation.

Publisher Summary This chapter examines macrophages, which are a family of mononuclear leukocytes that are widely distributed throughout most tissues. They vary considerably in phenotype depending on the local microenvironment, involved in the scavenging of dying cells, pathogens, and molecules through phagocytosis and endocytosis.

The Macrophage and Fibrinolysis [PDF]
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1996 The monocyte/macrophage plays a central role in fibrinolysis. Cell-surface of components of the plasminogen activator system leads to the elaboration of plasmin, which facilitates degradation of fibrin in the pericellular environment, as well as activation of matrixins, which promote degradation of matrix components.
