These particles can adhere to lung tissue, and macrophages—the white blood cells responsible for cleaning up such ...

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.

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide. Macrophages are important components of the internal immune cells, which profoundly affects the internal ...

A new review published in Genes & Diseases highlights macrophage-targeted therapy as a promising frontier in cardiac regeneration and myocardial repair.
