Abstract excerpt
During the resolution of inflammation macrophages undergo functional changes upon exposure to pro-resolving agents in their microenvironment. Primarily, engulfment of apoptotic polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells promotes conversion of macrophages toward a pro-resolving phenotype characterized by reduced CD11b expression. These macrophages are not phagocytic, do not respond to TLR ligands, and express relatively high...
