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 ...
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 ...
Sepsis is a fatal syndrome characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction originating from a chaotic and unchecked innate immune response to infection. Notably, macrophages are the master ...
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 ...
