Mar. 28, 2022 —Macrophages travel through our arteries, gobbling fat. But fat-filled macrophages can narrow blood vessels and cause heart disease. Now, researchers describe how deleting a protein could prevent this ...
Jan. 11, 2022 —Researchers have discovered a new role for macrophages in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Macrophages have mostly been thought to drive inflammation and promote plaque build-up, but a new ...
Mar. 5, 2021 —Researchers have discovered a new way to 'put the brakes' on excessive inflammation by regulating a type of white blood cell that is critical for our immune ...
Aug. 24, 2020 —A new study suggests that macrophage programming is more complex than previously ...
Dec. 30, 2020 —In some cases, immune cells in the lungs can contribute to worsening a virus attack. In a new study, researchers describe how different kinds of immune cells, called macrophages, develop in the lungs ...
Mar. 9, 2023 —Neutrophils induce anti-inflammatory -- or M2 -- macrophages deep in their granulocyte core. The dense globular structures of granulomas in animals, particularly in the lungs, have been studied. ...
Apr. 22, 2022 —Hypertension, a very common condition worldwide, can lead to arteriosclerosis through alterations in the structure of blood vessel walls known as 'vascular remodeling.' In a recent study, ...
Jan. 31, 2022 —A research team has engineered novel nanoparticles to serve as 'molecular traps' to target SARS-CoV-2, the virus that spreads COVID-19. The traps bind to SARS-CoV-2 and prevent it from ...
Apr. 28, 2022 —Scientists have been able to demonstrate that nerve signals are exchanged between arteries and the brain in ...
Sep. 20, 2022 —New research used the highly regenerative zebrafish to investigate the timing and genetic programs of macrophages, a type of white blood cell, in the repair and regeneration of a zebrafish sensory ...
