Macrophages and Their Organ Locations Shape Each Other in Development and Homeostasis – A Drosophila Perspective

Abstract excerpt

Across the animal kingdom, macrophages are known for their functions in innate immunity, but they also play key roles in development and homeostasis. Recent insights from single cell profiling and other approaches in the invertebrate model organismDrosophila melanogasterreveal substantial diversity amongDrosophilamacrophages (plasmatocytes). Together with vertebrate studies that show genuine expression signatures...
