Abstract excerpt
Blood monocytes (MO) undergo maturation into macrophages (MAC) upon migration from the capillary bed to tissue sites of inflammation where they are exposed to environmental signals. Functional competence and phenotype heterogeneity is the result of both differentiation-inducing and -activating ev...
