Adipose tissue macrophages develop from bone marrow–independent progenitors in Xenopus laevis and mouse
22 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract ATMs have a metabolic impact in mammals as they contribute to metabolically harmful AT inflammation. The control of the ATM number may have therapeutic potential; however, information on ATM ontogeny is scarce. Whereas it is thought that ATMs develop from circulating monocytes, various tissue-resident Mϕs are capable of self-renewal and develop from BM-independent progenitors without a monocyte...
