Monocytes and macrophages are myeloid cells that have important innate immune functions. Macrophages reside in tissues and respond to infection by producing inflammatory mediators and engulfing ...

Medically reviewed by Archana Sharma, DO Monocytopenia describes a low number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell.

For the longest time, researchers had been looking at dendritic cells as the main ... the resistant model had few monocytes, but was filled with suppressive macrophages, which are known to inhibit ...

Over the past ten years, we have investigated the developmental origin and homeostasis of macrophages and the related cell types monocytes and dendritic cells. These cells play a major role in diverse ...

monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells and T cells. There is a fragile balance between beneficial antimicrobial effects and detrimental reactions that contribute to the pathogenesis ...

Background The immune suppression mechanisms in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain unknown, but preclinical ...

Conventional dendritic cells, for example, are involved in the activation of CD8 + T-cells. However, emerging research suggests that other immune cells, such as monocytes, may also contribute to ...
