In mice, the loss of long-lived resident macrophages in eye tissue disrupts pressure control, suggesting a potential new target for glaucoma treatment.

Recently, teams led by Prof. Yiming Zhang from Xinqiao Hospital, Army Medical University,Prof. Fazhi Qi from Zhongshan ...

Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages involved in immune responses accelerate the progression of melanoma through the extracellular ...

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

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 ...

When the eye’s drainage system clogs, intraocular pressure (IOP) builds up and causes damage. The pressure can lead to glaucoma and vision loss. Researchers headed by a team at Duke University School ...

Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages involved in immune responses accelerate the progression of melanoma through the extracellular vesicles they secrete, a recent study from the University of Eastern ...

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating macrophages can “reprogram” them in such a way to reduce inflammation and encourage faster, more effective healing in ...
