Abstract excerpt
In response to micro-environmental cues such as microbial infections or T-helper 1 and 2 (TH1 and TH2) cytokines, macrophages (Mϕs) develop into M1- or M2-like phenotypes. Phenotypic polarization/activation of Mϕs are also essentially regulated by autocrine signals. Type-A γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR)-mediated autocrine signaling is critical for phenotypic differentiation and transformation of various...
