Macrophage plasticity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages respond to their microenvironment by altering phenotype. In response to chronic pro-inflammatory signals, such as those in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) macrophages can become skewed towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype. However, macrophages are important in the resolution of inflammation and consequently need to alter their phenotype to maintain homeostasis. COPD is a chronic inflammato...
