Macrophages serve as the Swiss army knives of the innate immune system, switching between phenotypes to perform different functions in response to the surrounding environment. One of their key ...

Findings from a new study, led by researchers at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine and published in Nature Immunology, have uncovered key functional differences in macrophages—a type of white ...

Approximately 9.5 million people globally live with Type 1 diabetes, a chronic autoimmune disease where T cells from the body’s immune system destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, which are ...

Macrophages—or “big eaters”—are exactly what they sound like. These immune cells roam our bodies hunting down infections, cancers, or injuries. When they detect a target, the cells release a calvary ...

A new method combining AFM with deep learning accurately profiles human macrophage mechanophenotypes. Macrophages drive key immune processes including inflammation, tissue repair and tumorigenesis via ...

All tissue samples were obtained from the Department of Pathology, University Hospital of Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland. Patients with pancreatitis, lymphoma, and systemic infection and who were on ...

New methods for deriving macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells are easier to scale and provide more clinically relevant data. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have given scientists ...
