A Review on Macrophage Activation Syndrome
MAS, which is currently grouped under secondary or acquired haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), is a rare and fatal disorder that results from excess activation of T-cells and macrophages.

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.

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).

Macrophage-derived upd3 Cytokine causes impaired glucose homeostasis and reduced lifespan in drosophila fed a lipid-rich diet [PDF]
Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan. We took advantage of Drosophila genetics to investigate the role of macrophages and the pathway(s) that ...

MAP kinase phosphatase 2 regulates macrophage-adipocyte interaction. [PDF]
Inflammation is critical for the development of obesity-associated metabolic disorders. This study aims to investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 2 (MKP-2) in inflammation during macrophage-adipocyte interaction.White ...

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 activation unveiled [PDF]
In the early 1960s, George Mackaness showed that macrophages from mice infected with intracellular bacteria could launch an indiscriminate attack against unrelated bacteria. Thus began an explosion of research on the biology of what Mackaness first termed “macrophage activation.”

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.
