Polarizing Macrophages In Vitro
Macrophages are a heterogeneous population of innate myeloid cells involved in health and disease, which are the most functionally diverse cells of the hematopoietic system. The main functions of macrophages include responding to pathogens and modulating the adaptive immune response, induction and resolution of inflammation, tissue repair, and ...

Background Recent studies have shown that bone marrow stromal cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) can be used for tissue repair. However, whether the BMSC-Exos can promote tendon-bone healing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is still ...

Type I Interferon Induction Is Detrimental during Infection with the Whipple's Disease Bacterium, Tropheryma whipplei [PDF]
Macrophages are the first line of defense against pathogens. Upon infection macrophages usually produce high levels of proinflammatory mediators. However, macrophages can undergo an alternate polarization leading to a permissive state.

Aims: The use of 3D-printed titanium implant (DT) can effectively guide bone regeneration. DT triggers a continuous host immune reaction, including macrophage type 1 polarization, that resists osseointegration.

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 within the macrophage enable such functional diversity.

Major pathways involved in macrophage polarization in cancer
Macrophages play an important role in tissue homeostasis, tissue remodeling, immune response, and progression of cancer. Consequently, macrophages exhibit significant plasticity and change their transcriptional profile and function in response to ...

A new lipid-structured model to investigate the opposing effects of LDL and HDL on atherosclerotic plaque macrophages [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaques form in artery walls due to a chronic inflammatory response driven by lipid accumulation. A key component of the inflammatory response is the interaction between monocyte-derived macrophages and extracellular lipid. Although concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood

Macrophage plasticity and polarization: in vivo veritas.
Diversity and plasticity are hallmarks of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In response to IFNs, Toll-like receptor engagement, or IL-4/IL-13 signaling, macrophages undergo M1 (classical) or M2 (alternative) activation, which represent extremes ...

Platelets promote macrophage polarization toward pro-inflammatory phenotype and increase survival of septic mice [PDF]
We investigated the contribution of human platelets to macrophage effector properties in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as well as the beneficial effects and time frame for platelet transfusion in septic animals.

Abnormal macrophage polarization is generally present in autoimmune diseases. Overwhelming M1 macrophage activation promotes the continuous progression of inflammation, which is one of the reasons for the development of autoimmune diseases.
