Macrophages drive disease progression, but their tissue-specific phenotypes and functions remain poorly defined. This study aims to elucidate macrophage-driven mechanisms by characterizing their functional diversity across key metabolic and vascular tissues. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used single-cell RNA...
