Identifying intended or accidental cellular targets for drug delivery systems is highly relevant
for evaluating therapeutic and toxic effects. However, limited knowledge exists on the …

Macrophages are important drug targets as they mediate a wide variety of infectious
diseases. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), schistosomiasis, brucellosis, and salmonellosis are …

The alveolar macrophages defend the lung against airborne pollutants and infectious
microorganisms. Recent advances in the understanding of the role of macrophages in …

Tissue repair and regeneration is a complex process. Our bodies have an excellent capacity
to regenerate damaged tissues in many situations. However, tissue healing is impaired in …

Macrophages are particularly effective in dealing with microorganisms that cause chronic
and intracellular infectious diseases and with organisms that have eluded killing by …

The development and widespread application of vaccines has been one of the most
significant achievements of modern medicine. Vaccines have not only been instrumental in …

Macrophages play an important role in host defense reactions, for example, by phagocytosis
of particulate materials. This process also results in the rapid removal of targeting devices …

In our attempts to thwart the unwanted attentions of microbes by prophylactic and
therapeutic vaccination, the knowledge of interactions at the molecular level may prove to be …

Macrophages, a class of tissue resident innate immune cells, are responsible for
sequestering foreign objects through the process of phagocytosis, making them a promising …
