The Role of Macrophages in Cancer: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.Monocytes infiltrate the tumor microenvironment (TME) and differentiate into macrophages, which polarize into proinflammatory, antitumor M1 cells or immunosuppressive, protumor M2 cells. Within the TME, M2‐type tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) predominate and drive tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Therapeutic strategies therefore focus on

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 56-72, January 2026.Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,

Mechanisms of Immune Evasion, Dissemination, and Persistence in Leishmania amazonensis Infection
Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Leishmania amazonensis is one of the etiological agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in its localised form. Moreover, this parasite can cause more severe disease conditions, such as diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. The development of more severe clinical manifestations is associated with the parasite's ability to establish a ...
