The gastrointestinal tract has the important task of absorbing nutrients, a complex process
that requires an intact barrier allowing the passage of nutrients but that simultaneously …

Macrophages are increasingly recognized as essential players in the maintenance of
intestinal homeostasis and as key sentinels of the intestinal immune system. However …

Macrophages are critical for innate immune defense and also control organ homeostasis in
a tissue-specific manner. They provide a fitting model to study the impact of ontogeny and …

The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was initially classified as a
