Abstract excerpt
Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are heterogeneous populations originating either from monocytes or embryonic progenitors, and distribute in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. TRMs play diverse roles in many physiological processes, including metabolic function, clearance of cellular debris, and tissue remodeling and defense. Macrophages can be polarized to different functional phenotypes depending on their...
