Macrophages and angiogenesis

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.

The alveolar macrophage

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1986
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 kidney

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2004
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 However, the classical view of macrophages as cells that cause injury has been superseded with evidence of their heterogeneous role, i.e. with involvement in all stages of the inflammatory process including tissue repair and healing.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 Macrophage and Fibrinolysis [PDF]

open access: possibleSeminars 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.

Macrophages in Inflammation

Current Drug Target -Inflammation & Allergy, 2005
The inflammatory process is usually tightly regulated, involving both signals that initiate and maintain inflammation and signals that shut the process down. An imbalance between the two signals leaves inflammation unchecked, resulting in cellular and tissue damage.

Macrophages in the thymus

Survey of Immunologic Research, 1985
Macrophages are a major population of thymic cells along with lymphocytes and epithelial cells. They are distributed in an apparently random manner throughout the cortex and medulla. Thymic macrophages express all of the various identifying characteristics associated with macrophages throughout the body including expression of a high level of class-I ...

The alveolar macrophage

1960
The alveolar macrophages, or dust cells, of the lung are cells which lie free within the air spaces of the lung alveoles. They have been extensively studied in the light microscope [for summary see (1)]. Their phagocytic potentialities are likewise known from light microscopic studies, in which dyes, India ink, or oils were injected into the trachea of

Macrophages in immunobiology

La Ricerca in Clinica e in Laboratorio, 1977
Macrophages are now known to be important not only in resistance to infection but also in immunoregulation, in resistance to tumours and as secretory cells. Among problems requiring further investigation are the ways in which they destroy intracellular organisms, the ways in which they recognize and destroy tumour cells and the extent of their ...
