Macrophages play an important role in a wide variety of physiologic and pathologic
processes. Plasticity and functional polarization are hallmarks of macrophages …

Macrophages become activated initiating innate immune responses. Depending on the
signals, macrophages obtain an array of activation phenotypes, described by the broad …

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 …

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 …

Microglia/macrophages are the major immune cells involved in the defence against brain
damage. Their morphology and functional changes are correlated with the release of danger …

Macrophages are endowed with a variety of receptors for lineage-determining growth
factors, T helper (Th) cell cytokines, and B cell, host, and microbial products. In tissues …

The traditional view of the adult brain as a static organ has changed in the past three
decades, with the emergence of evidence that it remains plastic and has some regenerative …

Allergic asthma is associated with airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.
Macrophage polarization has been shown to have a profound impact on asthma …

Monocytes and macrophages are important components of the immune system, specialized
in either removing pathogens as part of innate immunity or contributing to adaptive immunity …

Effective countermeasures for tendon injury remains unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cell-
derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs)-based therapy via regulation of Mφ-mediated …
