Macrophages are cells of the innate immunity constituting the mononuclear phagocyte
system and endowed with remarkable different roles essential for defense mechanisms …

Macrophages are terminally differentiated cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system that
also encompasses dendritic cells, circulating blood monocytes, and committed myeloid …

Monocytes/macrophages are heterogeneous and versatile cells that could undergo their
phenotypically/functionally dynamic switch in response to the microenvironment signals …

As an essential component of innate immunity, macrophages have multiple functions in both
inhibiting or promoting cell proliferation and tissue repair. Diversity and plasticity are …

Macrophages are key cellular components of the innate immunity, acting as the main player
in the first‐line defence against the pathogens and modulating homeostatic and …

The explosion of new information in recent years on the origin of macrophages in the steady-
state and in the context of inflammation has opened up numerous new avenues of …

Diversity and plasticity are two hallmarks of macrophages. M1 macrophages (classically
activated macrophages) are pro-inflammatory and have a central role in host defense …

Macrophages, found in circulating blood as well as integrated into several tissues and
organs throughout the body, represent an important first line of defense against disease and …

The role of myelomonocytic cells like monocytes and macrophages as first line of host
defense is well established. Recent understanding of these cells using systems biology …

Macrophage polarization refers to how macrophages have been activated at a given point in
space and time. Polarization is not fixed, as macrophages are sufficiently plastic to integrate …
