A mitochondrial enzyme, Ak4, strengthens immune defense by promoting mitochondrial DNA synthesis and enhancing macrophage ...
Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine have uncovered a potential path to treatment for persistent COVID-19 symptoms impacting the lungs. The work, published in Science in ...
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 ...
Sequencing the microRNA in vesicles only found in cardiac macrophages illuminates their role in blood vessel formation.
Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses.
Risk assessment is complicated, and not the same for all groups. Participants in the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network carry AD mutations that spur massive plaque deposition and lead to memory ...

Scientists image the immune system’s earliest response inside cells
Macrophages, the immune system’s front-line scavenger cells, do more than simply digest dead cells. A new study published in ...
When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat the ...
Could our immune system’s response to bacteria hold the key to better treatments for immune-related diseases? In a recent study published in Nature, a team of researchers explored how macrophages—our ...
