Macrophages within the testis constitute a specialised network of immune cells that extend far beyond host defence, orchestrating key aspects of organ development, immune privilege, spermatogenesis ...

Yolk sac macrophages are the first to seed the developing heart; however, owing to a lack of accessible tissue, there is no understanding of their roles in human heart development and function. In ...

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 ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a poor prognosis, and no effective treatment has been established to date. Understanding the mechanisms that prevent the progression of AKI is crucial. In ...

An enzyme that controls the maturation and long-term survival of immune cells called macrophages has been discovered, with implications for research on aging and inflammatory disease. Virtually all ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

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 ...

Jun 19, 2026-- 101 Therapeutics Ltd. today announced the public release of its clinical and scientific evidence package for 101-PGC-005 (‘005), a macrophage-targeted dexamethasone prodrug designed to ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered how tiny particles released by a special type of immune cell can ...

Diets rich in sugars and fats are associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and ...

The white blood cells' typical role is to promote inflammation and stimulate the immune response, but researchers say some actually appear to temper inflammatory conditions and improve healing.

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 ...
