Modelling the continuum of macrophage phenotypes and their role in inflammation.

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a significant role in determining the inflammatory response associated with a wide range of medical conditions. They are highly plastic, having the capacity to adopt numerous polarisation states or 'phenotypes' with disparate pro- or anti-inflammatory roles. Many previous studies divide macrophages into two categorisations: M1 macrophages are largely...
