  • For example, MSC are poor antigen presenting cells and do not express MHC class II or co-stimulatory molecules and only low levels of MHC class I molecules. (vin.com)
  • These cells provide several important physiological functions during homeostasis (Figure 1 ). (hindawi.com)
  • Dermal macrophages are macrophages in the skin that facilitate skin homeostasis by mediating wound repair, hair growth, and salt balance. (wikipedia.org)
  • The generation of dermal macrophages is highlighted by the expression of cell markers such as CD64, MERTK and the downregulation of CCR2. (wikipedia.org)
  • Following verification of a stem-like signature (upregulated expression of stemness markers, resistance to chemotherapy, increased spheroid formation, and tumorigenesis capabilities despite inoculation of a small number of cells), we analyzed the interaction of these cells with macrophages via direct and indirect coculture assays.

  • In this review, we discuss the origin and development of macrophages and their role in the intestinal inflammatory response or infection. (frontiersin.org)
  • Alemtuzumab was started 18 weeks after the last natalizumab dose, at which time all monon uclear cell subsets that can be affected by natalizumab in the patient's peripheral blood were normal. (medscape.com)
  • This slightly different perspective may somewhat shape our understanding of macrophage heterogeneity and tissue pathology but certainly also raise new questions for future research. (hindawi.com)
