Pinpointing the precise culprits behind harmful biological processes—such as excessive scarring (fibrosis) in organs like the ...

Background Current treatments with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy for ...

The oncogene AEG-1 shows promise as a target for managing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, according to a recently ...

Repurposing existing therapies may help slow muscle weakness in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a new study ...

Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to vascular collapse.

we found that most of the recruited macrophages did not originate from local tissue-resident macrophages but rather from blood-circulating monocytes. Parallel to macrophage recruitment, angiogenesis ...

Recent advances in cancer research have underscored the critical role of myeloid cells in shaping tumor microenvironments (TME), influencing tumor ...

It is important to note that certain macrophages do not develop from monocytes, instead being derived from embryonic progenitors, for example Kupffer cells in the liver, and are often described as ...

In this article, we focus on two related types of immune cell – the monocyte and the macrophage. We discuss what monocytes and macrophages are, how they are generated, their functions in the body and ...

Monocytes, along with other kinds of white blood cells, help the body fight disease and infection. They can become either macrophage cells or dendritic cells, two types of white blood cells.

showed that monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMFs) play a crucial role in this process. MoMFs are a type of white blood cell that is recruited to the liver in response to injury. Once in the liver ...

Researchers have discovered that, in a healthy individual, certain blood immune cells, the monocytes, also have this ability to proliferate, with the aim to replace tissue macrophages, which are ...
