Abstract excerpt
Pigs are attracting increasing attention as a large-animal model with translational relevance in biomedical research. They share several immunological similarities with humans, although the pig immune system has not been fully characterized yet, also at the level of macrophage polarization. A better understanding of porcine macrophage polarization could improve translational studies, allowing a better...
