Macrophage-associated immune checkpoint CD47 blocking ameliorates endometriosis
11 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Peritoneal macrophages play a significant role in the progression of endometriosis (EM), but their functional differentiation is still unclear, and their phagocytic ability is weak. CD47-signal-regulated protein α (SIRPα) and PD-L1-PD-1 are considered immune checkpoints associated with macrophage phagocytosis. A specific blockade of these two pathways had been shown to increase the phagocytic clearance of cancer...
