Peripheral-blood monocytes show morphological, antigenic and functional heterogeneity. Tissue-resident macrophage populations are replenished by a combination of local proliferation of precursors and ...

Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection ...

It is important to note that certain macrophages do not develop from monocytes, instead being derived from embryonic progenitors, for example Kupffer cells in the liver, and are often described as ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers report a mechanism wherein peripheral immune factors could impact central nervous system (CNS) function and behavior under stress. Stress-related ...
