Monocytes and macrophages are both innate immune cells that help eat germs and activate T cells. In fact, monocytes are a bit like an immature form of macrophages.Answer and Explanation: Monocytes are a bit like juvenile macrophages. Monocytes are typically found in circulating blood, whereas macr...
important innate immune functions. Macrophages reside in tissues and respond to infection by producing inflammatory mediators and engulfing bacteria. Monocytes are recruited to inflamed tissues and can produce inflammatory mediators or differentiate into macrophages. Both cells types can also promote tissue ...

The functionality of monocytes has been routinely tested by their ability to differentiate into macrophages in the presence of M-CSF and then polarize into M1- and M2-like macrophages. For M1-like polarization, IFNγ and LPS stimulation was used, for M2-like polarization IL-4 was used. ...
Of particular interest, in this context, is the critical process of monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation by which short-lived monocytes turn into long-lived macrophages and the question whether this process has an impact on TCR repertoire diversity. Small-scale spectratyping experiments have suggested...
The gradient established by these cells could act as a signal in circulation and the presence of CXCR3 expression in the host could facilitate recruitment of circulating macrophages and monocytes, which in turn could permit the successful engraftment of melanoma cells in the lung. Our lab is ...
The ratio of moDCs to macrophages was higher on day 3 than on day 5 post-SAH. Conclusions Inflammatory and immune responses are significantly involved in SAH-induced brain injury. Ly6C-high monocytes derived from the bone marrow, including the skull bone marrow, infiltrated into mouse brains ...
Under the combined action of adhesion molecules, chemokines, and cytokines, monocytes transfer HCMV to the site of vascular damage, enter the endothelium to transform into macrophages, and after taking in a large amount of cholesterol, turn into foam cells. Therefore, HCMV may initiate or ...
Monocytes and macrophages, in turn, can regulate KSHV-infected cells in tumorigenesis and cytokine secretion, leading to the pro-tumour microenvironment. Further investigations into the viral regulation of monocytes and macrophages thus have potential to lead to the discovery of novel antitumour ...
Upon infection, monocytes alter the cytokine/chemokine secretion patterns, differentiate into macrophages and migrate to the tissues to become infected resident macrophages [21]. Alternatively, infected apoptotic epithelial cells can be phagocytosed by macrophages to get infected. The Trojan horse ...
