Macrophages play key roles in all phases of adult wound healing, which are inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. As wounds heal, the local macrophage population transitions from predominantly pro-inflammatory (M1-like phenotypes) to anti ...

Distinct Responses to IL4 in Macrophages Mediated by JNK
IL(Interleukin)-4 is the main macrophage M2-type activator and induces an anti-inflammatory phenotype called alternative activation. The IL-4 signaling pathway involves the activation of STAT (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription)-6 and ...

GM-CSF Protects Macrophages from DNA Damage by Inducing Differentiation
At inflammatory loci, pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages produces large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce DNA breaks and apoptosis. Given that M-CSF and GM-CSF induce two different pathways in macrophages, one for proliferation

Immunological memory is a crucial part of the immune defense that allows organisms to respond against previously encountered pathogens or other harmful factors. Immunological memory is based on the establishment of epigenetic modifications of the genome.

Macrophages in immunoregulation and therapeutics
Macrophages exist in various tissues, several body cavities, and around mucosal surfaces and are a vital part of the innate immune system for host defense against many pathogens and cancers.

Macrophages as tools and targets in cancer therapy
Tumour-associated macrophages are an essential component of the tumour microenvironment and have a role in the orchestration of angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodelling, cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and immunosuppression, as well as in ...

Pathological inflammation in patients with COVID-19: a key role for monocytes and macrophages
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2 has led to more than 200,000 deaths worldwide. Several studies have now established that the hyperinflammatory response induced by SARS-CoV-2 is a major cause of disease severity and death in ...
