Tissue Microenvironments Define and Get Reinforced by Macrophage Phenotypes in Homeostasis or during Inflammation, Repair and Fibrosis [PDF]
, 2012 Current macrophage phenotype classifications are based on distinct in vitro culture conditions that do not adequately mirror complex tissue environments.

Reduced Necrosis and Content of Apoptotic M1 Macrophages in Advanced Atherosclerotic Plaques of Mice With Macrophage-Specific Loss of Trpc3 [PDF]
, 2017 In previous work we reported that ApoeKO mice transplanted with bone marrow cells deficient in the Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel have reduced necrosis and number of apoptotic macrophages in advanced atherosclerotic plaques ...

Germination of Aspergillus fumigatus inside avian respiratory macrophages is associated with cytotoxicity [PDF]
, 2012 Although aspergillosis is one of the most common diseases in captive birds, the pathogenesis of avian aspergillosis is poorly known. We studied the role of avian respiratory macrophages as a first line of defense against avian aspergillosis.

Expression of ID4 protein in breast cancer cells induces reprogramming of tumour-associated macrophages [PDF]
, 2018 Background: As crucial regulators of the immune response against pathogens, macrophages have been extensively shown also to be important players in several diseases, including cancer. Specifically, breast cancer macrophages tightly control the angiogenic

Macrophage elastase kills bacteria within murine macrophages [PDF]
Nature, 2009 Macrophages are aptly positioned to function as the primary line of defence against invading pathogens in many organs, including the lung and peritoneum. Their ability to phagocytose and clear microorganisms has been well documented. Macrophages possess several substances with which they can kill bacteria, including reactive oxygen species, nitric ...

Treating Macrophages with Anti-inflammatory Nanoparticles as a Strategy to Improve Muscle Repair [PDF]
, 2019 The macrophage is an immune cell that is involved in host defense. More recent research, however, has revealed that they also play a central role in mediating the skeletal muscle regenerative process.

The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2005 The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. Fusion is required for the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts and giant cells, although the mechanisms that govern these processes are poorly understood.

Macrophages in endocrine glands, with emphasis on pancreatic islets [PDF]
, 2016 We review here the macrophages found in endocrine tissues, placing emphasis on those residing in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The islets represent the endocrine organ where macrophages have been examined in great detail and where our own ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
