Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, adjust their molecular signaling patterns immediately after an infection, the ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a lasting impact on the innate ...

This funding will support his lab's ongoing research into blood platelets and macrophages (a type of white blood cell). He will further investigate how integrin tension -- the physical force ...

In healthy tissues, macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play an essential role by sweeping up things such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the event of infection.

Later, they found that specific subtypes of macrophages (a class of white blood cells), recruited to the lung during hypoxia, release inflammatory factors that cause vascular disease to progress.

As of early 2025, tuberculosis cases are increasing in the U.S. This disease, often shortened to TB, causes significant lung damage and, if not treated, is almost always lethal.

Produced by the body in response to infections or tumours, its primary task is to activate and enhance the defensive power of macrophages — white blood cells that engulf and destroy damaged ...

Cardiac macrophages in newborn mice promoted heart cell proliferation after injury, offering a potential approach to ...

This study provides proof-of-principle data for the use of trained immunity to modulate macrophage interactions with tumours. The study makes a valuable contribution to the field of trained immunity.

These particles can adhere to lung tissue, and macrophages—the white blood cells responsible for cleaning up such intruders—are tasked with removing them. Macrophages dislodge the pollutants ...
