This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...

They found that immune system cells called macrophages eat the ink, and then pass it to their replacements when they die. So the tattoo ink doesn’t stain skin cells, as many people had believed.

Lipid-laden macrophages were measured by means of oil red O staining. With respect to glucocorticoids, a short course of prednisone was prescribed by an outpatient provider before hospitalization.

For many years, tattoos were thought to work by staining fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of the skin. More recently, however, researchers have suggested that macrophages -- specialized immune ...

Studies in Dr. Ignatowski’s laboratory are designed to investigate the bidirectional communication between the nervous and immune systems as it relates to the control of depressive behavior, chronic ...

The granulocyte–macrophage progenitor pool from patients with CML in blast crisis and imatinib-resistant CML was expanded, expressed BCR-ABL, and had elevated levels of nuclear β-catenin as ...

The term "macrophage" conjures images of a hungry white blood cell gobbling invading bacteria. However, macrophages do much more than that: Not only do they act as antimicrobial warriors, they ...

Infection of the respiratory system by diseases like COVID-19 and flu causes damage to the epithelium. During the healing process, regenerative cells are typically kept in check by macrophages, as ...

Embryonic macrophages regulate the number of stem cells. Although they have a similar morphology (external characteristics), these macrophages differ significantly in terms of their function.
