In both compartments, monocyte-derived populations were largely expanded in NASH-affected mice. Importantly, the liver myeloid compartment adapted a unique inflammatory phenotype during NAFLD ...
It was recently shown that monocyte/macrophage infiltration into the liver upon injury is critically regulated by the CCL2/CCR2 axis and is functionally important for perpetuating hepatic inflammation ...
The study, led by Prof. Charlotte Scott and her team, was published in Immunity and identifies a key role for lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) and LAM-like Kupffer cells (KCs) in promoting recovery ...
Here the authors compare resting and IFN-α-treated islet β cells in vitro to find IFN-α inducing increased HLA-B expression, presentation of alternative epitopes, and activation of HLA-B ...
