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 ...
Tissue-resident macrophages can originate from embryonic or adult hematopoiesis. They play important roles in a wide range of biological processes including tissue remodeling during organogenesis, ...
Macrophages are the specialized phagocytic cells that respond to toxic particle depositions to exert inflammatory and clearance responses. These long-lived immune cells engulf foreign substances like ...

Light-powered phagocytic macrophage microrobot combines immune functions with robotic controllability
Macrophages and other immune cells are the natural frontline immune warriors of our body, defending the body against invading pathogens and cancer cells. Yet despite their innate "combat" capabilities ...
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 ...
Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium urate crystals, or MSUc; CPPD disease, another inflammatory joint disease ...
The understanding of how macrophages regulate their response to toxic particles via two independent pathways could uncover therapeutic opportunities to quell inflammation BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Human ...
