Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during ...

Our livers contain many different types of immune cells. New research by the team of Prof. Charlotte Scott (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues now reveals that a specific ...

Macrophages are among the earliest immune cells produced during embryonic development and are crucial for tissue repair and ...

Research from VIB-UGent identifies lipid-associated macrophages and LAM-like Kupffer cells as critical for liver repair. The study reveals TREM2's role in clearing damaged cells and promoting recovery ...

In healthy tissues, macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play an essential role by sweeping up things such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the event of infection.

Initially mistaken for neutrophils, a population of atypical macrophages appears in the lungs after severe viral infection, orchestrates tissue repair, and then vanishes. Rebecca Roberts is a science ...

Find out why stress can worsen allergy symptoms. Learn about the cellular chain reaction that occurs in the body and how it ...

These cells deal with microbes and repair tissue damage. Two main sub-types of immune cells are T cells and macrophages. T cells are designed to recognise the molecular signatures of particular ...
