The Role of Macrophages in Acute and Chronic Wound Healing and Interventions to Promote Pro-wound Healing Phenotypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
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

open access: yesCells, 2023
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

open access: yesCells, 2022
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

NAD kinase promotes Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis by supporting production of virulence factors and protective enzymes

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is the primary electron donor for reductive reactions that are essential for the biosynthesis of major cell components in all organisms.

Matrix Stiffening Enhances DNCB-Induced IL-6 Secretion in Keratinocytes Through Activation of ERK and PI3K/Akt Pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Matrix stiffness, a critical physical property of the cellular environment, is implicated in epidermal homeostasis. In particular, matrix stiffening during the pathological progression of skin diseases appears to contribute to cellular responses of ...

Pathological inflammation in patients with COVID-19: a key role for monocytes and macrophages

open access: yesNature reviews. Immunology, 2020
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 ...

Exploring Zebrafish Larvae as a COVID-19 Model: Probable Abortive SARS-CoV-2 Replication in the Swim Bladder

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Animal models are essential to understanding COVID-19 pathophysiology and for preclinical assessment of drugs and other therapeutic or prophylactic interventions.

The tumor-educated-macrophage increase of malignancy of human pancreatic cancer is prevented by zoledronic acid. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We previously defined macrophages harvested from the peritoneal cavity of nude mice with subcutaneous human pancreatic tumors as "tumor-educated-macrophages" (Edu) and macrophages harvested from mice without tumors as "naïve-macrophages" (Naïve), and ...

Effects of mesoporous SiO2-CaO nanospheres on the murine peritoneal macrophages -- Candida albicans interface [PDF]

open access: yesInt Immunopharmacol International Immunopharmacology. 2021 Mar 20;94:107457, 2021
The use of nanoparticles for intracellular drug delivery could reduce the toxicity and side effects of the drug but, the uptake of these nanocarriers could induce adverse effects on cells and tissues after their incorporation. Macrophages play a central role in host defense and are responsible for in vivo nanoparticle trafficking.

Macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour in a multiphase model of atherosclerotic plaque development [PDF]

open access: yesBull Math Biol 85, 37 (2023), 2022
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the formation of plaques, which are deposits of lipids and cholesterol-laden macrophages that form in the artery wall. The inflammation is often non-resolving, due in large part to changes in normal macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour that are induced by the toxic plaque microenvironment ...
